catfishes are greedy fishes.. u can feed them raw fish that you find in a super market.. or feed some pellets.. in short its actually up to you decide what to feed it

you can feed them anything... peas, fish, pellets etc etc worms.. etc..
if theyre big enough pinkies and mice.. anything...

Is there any food in particular that would make it's tail redder? Thx.

Any pellets thats high in carotenoid would help. But genetics also plays a big part.
I see RTC with virtually no red at all.. not even a shade of pink and ive had one thats
really red..

By the time my RTC was 2' i would thaw a couple extra adult mice when I was feeding my snakes and give them to him.Just stay away from large quantities of feeder goldfish as they have been shown to cause cardiovascular problems in large fish.
