New Gulper wont eat

[quasar]

Hey guys! Quick question.

I made another post celebrating the coming of my new Gulper cat, now I need your help/advice to help the little guy. Currently the catfish is about 3.5" long and lives alone in a 20g. I've had my gulper since Friday, how long does it take for them to get "used" to their new home? Mine hasn't eaten anything yet :S. Ii tried shrimp with garlic guard(cut peices), a silverside cut in half (with garlic guard), and feeders. He doesn't seem to be down :s. Should i be worried?

I would suspect it's need time to get used to its new tank. Just wait a bit more I would say. Or can add some guppies in there pre treated with meds and keep a count.

Play the waiting game. Fish is stressed out cuz of transit and new surrounding.

thanks guys , hopefully the appetite of legend will arise soon

Might only take to live, although I think you can happily wave tilapia in front of it for a little while and it will take eventually.

Happily?

As long as your digits aren't super important, I don't see why not.

Well hunger got the best of the lil guy. He swallowed 2 goldfish last night. Hopefully now he'll start taking other stuff

Glad to see he's eating, I'm not sure how hard hey are to wean off live.
