Thanks for the thought Nighteon, but he's way too lazy to catch live food. I literally have to put the food in his mouth a lot of the time. He currently shares the tank with 5-6 rosy red minnows, none of which have been zapped or eaten since I moved them all in with the catfish.

Also, the good news continues: Last night, I diced up shrimp and tilapia like I always do for all my tanks: different sized chunks and strips for different tanks. I went to feed the catfish his share first, and he ended up eating a little over 80% of the food I'd prepared for everyone! I think he would have eaten more, but it was starting to seem unhealthy, so I walked away from his tank.

Anyways, I hope the streak continues tonight. He need to fatten back up.
