Rescued this Chaca Catfish Today-I think it's going to die though

[balton777]

Freebee catfish but it's barely living. I can pick it up with my hand and it lays limp and lifeless.

No. It just lays at the bottom motionless...I can put my finger on it's back and get nothing.

Here he is...I put some Massivore in front of him.

hmmmm... can u force feed it? somthin super rich like krill or somthin

 

[balton777]

I have some krill but do you really think I should force feed it? Anyone else have any thoughts on that?

 

[fishwhisperer]

dont let the term force throw u off, just take it in ur fingers and put it to his lips or when he breaths just stick it in there

 

[balton777]

K-I'm thawing some out.

I don't know...... When I'm sick I don't want to eat, I just want to be left alone. Maybe just turn off the lights and turn up the heat a little and let it rest.

 

[balton777]

I'll try and put some down in front of him for now. Maybe he'll only eat it at nite though...
