hey guys im just wondering what i should try to feed my rtc/tsn hybrid, because atm i have tried shrimp pellets, frozen krill, frozen plankton, frozen blood worms and i put like 2 tuffies in the tank to see if he would go for them, but atm he has yet to eat anything. I picked him up on sunday so idk if this is normal because new to the tank or if i should try to feed him somethin else.

completly normal that he hasn't eatten, leave him alone with the lights off for awhile and some food in the tank and he'll come around 
sorry to bump this but looking for more help on it, my tsn/rtc hybrid ate on april 1st about half a shrimp pellet, but since then hasn't ate anythin since, he hasn't even looked at anythin. jw, wat i should try feeding him that i haven't already? so far i tried shrimp pellets, frozen bloodworms, frozen plankton,, small tuffies and guppies.
Try some Cut up sardines... (packed in water not oil) or some fresh cut up shrimp...Otherwise what is your water quality like?
i think my water parameters are good, ph is 6.8, nitrates are at 7ppm, my tap water is 5ppm normal. ammonia is 0, i'll try some shrimp or sardines when i get home, also should i try to get some frozen silver sides?
i would do about 15% water change every 2 days to keep water top notch. try cut pieces of smelt, my new one ate it the first day i got him. keep us posted
your trying all the wrong foods dude . Go to the fish store say i want a small thing of LIVE BLACKWORMS . Turn the lights off for about 20 mins and put the blackworms in the tank.
To keep the black worms alive u need to rinse them and drain the watter dailey u just want them wet and keep them in the fridge. try it i bet he eats.
this is my old one when it was still under ten inchs

I am having the same problem with my RTC/TSN,he is only about 3 inches and eats about every 3-4 days,i am getting worried because all my other cats seem to be out growing him.
another possability is that he has eat something he shouldnt off i.e a stone pebble ect , these gready cats are known to eat all sorts most of the time they can throw it back up but sometimes they cant and it gets stuck ,what does his stomach look like ,does he look v thin , maybee post i pic
