I have recently purchased a yellow giraffe catfish of around 4 inches and have yet to see it eat. It has been in the growout tank for around 2 weeks now and only seems to move at night. Any strategies on getting it to eat? Should I be concerned that it hasn't eaten yet? It is a beautiful fish and I really do not want to lose it.

Yup, it's an a. biscutatus, AKA "Yellow Giraffe Catfish" @ Wetspot Tropical Fish, same place I got my three. Mine only feed in darkness as well, like most all my cats. Noticeable is the light coloration compared to mine likely due to light substrate and a well lit tank. Mine are much darker with never any lights and darker gravel substrate. Nice to have a giraffe cat species that remain small! Mine stay hidden for the most part during the day but curious how their behavior may be different in a well lit community tank, possibly being less shy and reclusive I hope...
