proper diet for a tiger shovelnose

[joel]

My tiger shovelnose is about a foot long. I've been feeding him shrimp and tilapia fillet from the supermarket. Is that an acceptable diet for this kind of fish?

 

[piranha45]

Absolutely!

started feeding mine pellets again and some shrimp and hes eating like a champ and getting bigger, he's about 14" long now. I am so happy. You will love having that tsn they are great to watch.

That diet is great. I would also use whole smelt too - great item for predatory catfishes.

give it some beefheart and meaty foods. they grow quicker.

 

[DRaGoNoVA]

they eat anything basically

 

[joel]

doesn't the beef hearts make the water greasy?

 

[zhuangsw]

any thing meaty you can feed, like feeders to insect, to market prawns... its really up to you..
