i have 5-6 inches red tail catfish. what kind of diet should i gave him to grow fast but healthy? and how many times a day. thanks.
 
I got mine in the end of January at 3". He's now 8". I've been feeding him Hikari sinking carnivore pellets and just switched to massivore delites because of his size. I also feed him frozen krill, bits of chicken heart, and halibut. I have been feeding him twice daily until very recently when I switched to only once daily

i feed my hybrids blood worms, minnows, NLS sinking pellets, tilapia, and when they can catch them they help themselves to red zebra cichlids
 
Alot of care sheets will say twice a day maybe three until they are 10", I could be wrong though. And hikari makes excellent pellets for bottom feeders, add in some cut up shrimp and fish on occasion as well.
 
Does anyone here feed theirs shrimp? the grocery store right by my house has peeled frozen shrimp cheap and then add coupons i can get them pretty cheap, i just didnt know if it was ok to feed store bought shrimp...
 
i have feed mine in the past shrimp and he loved them.
 
my RTC is eating feeders. i'll put 2 feeders in the morning and in evening. i havent tried the pellets. should i add pellets in his diet? and should i reduce his feeding time to once a day with 2 feeders?
