I'm a bit jealous of yours, mines so small :(
 
Yeah, I'm just happy that I got such an unusual, unique, rare, and beautiful catfish :D. It's shame that didn't offer them together though. One of us could have bought both at the same time and gotten free shipping. Mine was 39.99 and yours was 79.99 you said... 79.99+39.99= 119.98 and free shipping steps in at 99 so yep, free shipping.

What size tank do you have him in and how do you prepare the tilapia for him? Mine won't eat yet :( it ignored a night crawler completly last night and ignores the pieces I cut off and any pellets I put in there.

It’s because of its crepuscular activity. Any and all light really put it to sleep. Unfortunately leaving food overnight won’t work. Mine is at the top begging for food. Did this the other day and today. I think it’s figured out I bring food early morning.

I cut the tilapia in strips. Very thin/small and slowly move it around and it takes it.

The e-worm was cut into small moving pieces.

It tried offering it when it was daytime and wouldn’t work. Left food overnight and won’t work.

Last option is to get shrimp or small feeders and leave them in. Keep a count and it’ll slowly disappear.
