thanks
 
What are these catfish nuggets? Pics? Did you overfeed? How long did you let the fish consume their food?
 
all food was eaten.. i fed piece by piece.. bought at the supermarket, like filets of catfish cut into nuggets. i washed them off the best i could since they are really greasy. and then i cut them to smaller piece and feed fish piece by piece.
 
Must be the oil that makes the food greasy and food particles that can cloud the water even after you wash the fillets several times. It cannot be prevented but plenty of water changes will usually rectify the problem. I don't see how it will harm the fish provided you feed them those only sparingly, perhaps once a week.
