Four-lined Pimelodus Catfish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
So ive been feeding my Pimelodus Cat a steady diet of earthworms, and he has about 15 recently added baby Bullheads in his tank that eat TetraFin Goldfish flakes, he eats some every now and then, his colors have showed up tremendously.
He use to be all silver with a few very pale skinny lines running down his side, now he has thick dark gray/black lines, with silver underneath.
 
look at my other threads for pics of redtail x paroon but think it prob redtail x four stripped pim now ???
 
I Have 2 babies in my 125 gallon tank....they chill out with my regular pictus cat...the biggest of the 4 lines is around 3 1/2 inches...they CONSTANTLY piss of my Marble Redtail Catfish (Got tha name from Wolf3101)...Their really active...a little too active...running over my Lima Shovelnose when ever they get the chance...for some reason all my catfish like to huddle ontop of each other and go to sleep tho...
 
Hey sorry I know this is a realllllyyyyyy old thread, but I cant seem to find anybody who knows anything about 4-lined pimelodus catfish. I got mine from my lfs like a week ago, and I never see him eat no matter what I drop in, earthworms, shrimp, or carnivore pellets. He also never comes out during the day. At the store he was active and with one pacu in an 80 gallon tank, swimming back and forth, and eating everything. What is going on...I want to see him eat, and swim around more!
