Iridescent catfish

[Joergemathew]

i bought a iridescent catfish of size 1' 2 days ago it is not eating anything what to do

What where they feeding it before? A healthy fish will not starve itself.
Size tank?, tankmates?, water temp?, parameters?

I always found a nice water change always stimulates appetites in my tanks.

try a variety of foods ...
but its not uncommon for them to take a few days to settle down and start eating.
also, a lot of times the sharks dont really eat while you are watching them
