Feed for a certain FISH !

[nvcats]

I have a few fish with me, that have come in my ownership... as a sort of rescue..

and having kept fishes for a long time (only catfish) I had assumed this juvi's to be something else...... like the walking catfish..

to make a long story short..... I think I having a Wels .. I will post pic tomorrow..

So in subject to the post.... what do I feed them. they are roughly 3 inches long

If they won't eat pellets they should eat small earth worms for sure. Where did you get them?

your gonna need one hell of a tank... or start digging now and have a monster pond.

Wels will eat pellets, dead or dying fish, worms, crayfish, squid, mackrel, leaches, and boilies. all these have been proven to work when targeting them on rod and line. so some should apply to fish in aquaria

try some of the above, just in smaller sizes. they may be 3" long but they're gonna have one hell of a mouth.

I have never had a NA catfish that would not eat sinking prepared food (pellets). In most cases they will not eat until the lights are off.

I got them from a person who was about to flush it down.... or throw it away... as they were leaving the country... i live in Kuwait..

the local LFS, keeps a lot of different type of fishes.. legal and illegal...

I am presently feeding them pellets and and at time some live mollies like a treat.. but the curious thing is, they haven't grown a lot....
