What are good food items to feed a redtail catfish. he is about 8 in long. just acquired him from LFS. He already ate my redtail shark and a small pike cichlid. He hides all day and comes out late at night. i guess to hunt. My buddy told me if it has whiskers then it is a predator.

RTCs are actually predatory catfish. These are not your typical community fish. Do you have plans to get a pond for this fish?
yes i am moving him to a pond. taking out the koi and putting him in there. got to buy a heater. what is the best time to feed him ? during the night time? and what is the best food item for the rtc
since their nocturnal hunters, feed him at nightime..
should feed him a good sinking pellet, ive used hikari massivore delight or hikari sinking carivore pellets.. market shrimp, white bait, etc.. their not fussy and will eat whatever fits in their mouth..

If you can get him eating pellets that would be good. If it's anything like my rtc's... good luck lol. I feed mine mainly shrimp and tilapia fillets from wal-mart and I usually try to switch it up for them
the only thing thats gonna suck is staying up late to feed that bad boy. he has a nice hiding spot and does not leave till its really late and dark. once the lights go on he is gone back to his favorite hiding spot.
