my 5 inch red tail catfish, who i fed chunks of thawed shrimp since it was 2" is now not eating. any suggestions? (oh yea i gave him a couple of dead feeders prior to this).
and i think one of his eyes is missing. his tankmates are a pleco and a giant snakehead. :\
 
if his eye is missing add melifix dont add salt it is bad for rtc's then i would start feeding bloodworms and wait if there is no responce then isolate it and le it heal by its self
 
I agree with FishForLife, giant snakeheads are very mean. He may be the reason the eye is missing. And if it is a recent wound, the fish is probably extremely stressed out, and therefore doesn't want to eat.
