What are yall feeding them? Has anyone got them on pellet food? Asking here because you get better info from keeper than from online lol.
 
C. apurensis prefer live fish such as feeder goldfish (or smaller tank mates, especially expensive ones) and will readily eat nightcrawlers and worms. They can be weaned off live foods with chunks of frozen tilapia for example or other kinds of fish, maybe shrimp as well. Haven't seen much about getting them to eat pellets...
 
Mine relish meaty foods but will take pellets if they have to.

Yellowcat's apurensis is 28" right now (even though with a second owner).


And damn yall and yor Latin names lol i will learn it one day (smh 20+ years and i still havent)

You don't need to. Copy and paste into google, is all, yall :)

lol tbtb thanks for the help i love to learn all i can about my cats. im keeping 6 types currently and love them all. gunna have to pick up some frozen fish in the morn for this chunky basterd lol. gunna need an id on a little guy soon. have no idea what he is but at 2 inches he holds his own with my albino mystis, valture , and i believe it is called bacu catfish.
 
I catch marine bait fish 2"-6" here in season, Sep-Oct, by cast net. A lot of work but also fun. Stuff them in 1 gallon containers. Two 7 cubic feet freezers last me a year or so.

Bacu usually refers to a Pterodoras granulosus AFAIK.

Remember google :)
 
Mystus aff. gulio , Calophysus macropterus, Pterodoras granulosus. just for you tbtb that way i can look all smart :) ( not that my spell is worth a **** lol)
 
Smart in my book is when one does not kill fish (much). The number of pet fish I've killed broke 200 or maybe even 300, as I've lost count. That's not smart of me.

Anyhoo, I like scientific names because they eliminate much confusion and follow-up clarifications, that is thankless, trivial, and menial work.

How is Buffalo? Is it still in roughly the same spot I left it in 2011? (You might have forgotten I lived in Rochester, NY in years 2000-2011.)
 
Lol still ****ty went from mid 60s last week to low 30s now. And lol i dont count my dead only thankful for the liveing :) one of my rtc tryed to eat my sleeper goby a few weeks ago got lucky he released and i put him in a different tank.
 
Just a little update fed fatty some frozen fish lol he ate his body size . And he found his home in the tank so all is good :)
