What do you feed your shovelnose other than feeders

Depends on the size when mine was small chopped mussel maggots worms prawns (loved worms...) like all catfish eats all dead food (sometimes requires training) such as shrimp, crab, crayfish and fish meat. Shovelnose catfish loves living food and it is beneficial to give them live food every now and then however this should never be their main diet.

I have oscars to and they get to the feeders first. Which is I not good for an everyday diet. My Shovelnose is about 6in. He only eats when its dark.

they do tend to feed a lot more at night the smaller they are a friend of mine has one that is blind and he is out all the time best thing is to drop the feed, (worms are good) down where he is at night time just before bed. When he gets bigger he will eat no problem

My juruense gets frozen uncooked shrimp through a feeding tube or else the leichardti would keep him from eating.

I feed earthworms, minnows (frozen, then thawed), FW shrimp. Once he's got some size, I'll add crayfish and other things of that nature to the diet. He's kinda small right now.
