mine ate pellets, small bits of squid, small bits of muscle, small bits of prawns and blood worm.

Clarias cat in the hobby, for the most part, are farm-raised and used to prepared foods. Try feeding it sinking crumbles and introduce other foods after it settles in.
 
Mine ate pellets and it grew pretty quickly. It went from 3" to 11.5" in 7 months.
 
Clarias or walking catfish grow fast. I've got a pair of albinos. got em at 3" in late November 06 and now they're both about 9". They eat everything. and haven't any live prey except molly fry. They love live worms and also grow well with em.
