if u only had him for a cpl days i wount freak out just yet. but try feeding when u turn of the lights, this helped get mine to start eating and to start coming out and eating when the lights are on., i wouldnt try feeders unless he is about to die. dont wanna get him stuck on feeders but then again he is a cat and should eat anything. but i would try some bloodworms, mealworms, waxworms, or earthworms, maybe some market shrimp. try diff things and try doing it when the light are all off at night.
My Sun Catfish isn't eating

I fed my new Sun Cat frozen mysis shrimp and bloodworms... I'd put them in the tank right before I turned the lights off, and when I'd come back a few hours later he had that lovely marble belly I just love to see on catfish.
I've seen him eat certain flake food as well... but I don't remember the brand now...
I do know mine is completely inactive with the lights on, unless someone is trying to eat him... or kick him out of his driftwood hiding hole.
That's why I placed my driftwood against the front of the tank in my little cat grow out tank, that way when they hide, I can still see them
