stripped rafael catfish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I kept1 for 3 yrs before and he always came out,he would eat any and everything!!!When i took it out of my tank to trade him in he did make a loud kinda snorting or "croaking noise.
 
I have a Striped and a Spotted Rapheal Catfish. I've had them for 3+ years. The striped Rapheal will now eat anything i put in the tank. Live fish or shrimp. Freeze-dried shrimp. Algea wafters. Sinking and floating pellets.

Although when I first got them the only thing they would eat was the algea wafers broken up into pieces.
 
i have a striped not realy sure what it eats .he is 15 yrs old ,for about three of those years kept him with a oscar. there was never food left over but when i drained tank there he was looking good. i have seen him eat earth worms. good luck.
 
They are deff. carnies... i feed mine frozen brine & krill, any flake or pellets that reach the bottom are eaten as well. Aro should be OK as long as the cat is decent sized and has a cave/shelter to hide. Mine is out a lot, especially when its feeding time. They can def. smell food in the water and will begin searching.
