pictus questions?

[GTbEaSt]

I recently bought a 3inch pictus catfish...I have him in a 55g with some cichlids and couple of barbs....my questions are....what is the best way to feed them? and also, what is the best food? I put sinking wafers in there but he doesnt seem to notice and by then the cichlids or barbs eat them all up.....

Try some frozen foods like mysis and krill. You could also try target feeding w/a piece of PVC or similar pipe. That way it allows you to get food down by the cat.

Try frozen bloodworms works great!

Bloodworms, shrimp pellets, small pieces of fresh shrimp or fish. Try feeding after lights out.

Mine eat Flakes and whatever the big boys spit out.

at night use a turkey baster and shoot some frozen bloodworms down there
