My marbled catfish loves to eat. I originally had him loading up on blood worms (not too expensive cause he is around 3".) He loooooves 2" peacock bass (that bastard ate two in 10 minutes... Ha ha.) Well. I put some NLS (small pellets) in for my female convict and a few land on his whiskers and he goes insane! He instantly opens his mouth real wide and sucks as much in as he can (which was only about 3 that landed on him), so I drop more in and I now have him converted to pellets cause I'm so bomb.:headbang2 Then I drop a full size hikari sinking pellet in for my pleco and he inhales the whole thing... My draw dropped when I saw that because these things are like larger than he is... I look at the bag of em and back at him and now he has the fattest lil belly I have ever seen him have... I am going to let him fast for a whole day, no matter how much begging he does.
 
No kidding, huh? He he, I'm estimating about 2-3 more months then I have to move her cause he will more than likely be eyeballing her. :D
 
I would move her pretty soon - MC's are eating machines!
 
mine loved cheese i found these out as i read about pacu liking it and the pacu hand feed alot with cheese but my old marble catfish went crazy and eat that and the tips of my fingers as i wasent watching i fort it was the pacu and though i was going to lose my fingertips lol but the marble aswell hand feed after that some time he would eat to much though and be sick :/ but uno this stuff happens
 
He was probably sick cause cheese it not good for fish.
 
He's sulking because I'm fasting him, haha... He came out to beg, but after about 10 mins of it, he went into the corner, turned around, and just sat there, lol.
