Sun/Eclipse Catfish help

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Mine grew fairly quickly iirc. He shot up to around 6" then slowly gained a few more over the past couple years on a diet of sinking carnivore pellets mostly.
 
Oh nice. Mine eats just about everything. Should of got a vid of the ghost shrimp feeding. By far the craziest feedings lol only time he has fed during lights on since he bullied his buddy

If you can avoid pellets then do so for cats. When I used to have sun cats they grew quite well but I like bigger cats and gave them to my brother. I stuck with my redtails I think he still has one about 6-8inches now. Been about a yr or yr n half from a few inches to 6-8inches not bad. I'll see if I can get him to post photos. Never fed any of my cats til this day pellets. Cut shrimp or tilipia or just cut fish in general and on occasion mussel/clam meat. Cheap at asian supermarket. Get a mackeral chop it up into lil pieces it will last you months. One mackeral at asian market like 2-3 bucks. But what works for me might not work for you. Good luck with your fish it's a lunker cat when it gets chunky.

I normally feed him meaty foods which maybe why he is growing quick. The only pellets he gets are the ones my fish miss during my pre-lights out feeding. Thanks for the info there is plenty of asian markets around here

I have 3 in with my CA/SA, they are feeding on NLS as a staple like everyone else, I had one at first but after doing more reading I got 2 more. The bigger one is about 6.5" long being fed once a day on NLS, got him at 3" about a year ago and the other 2 are about 4.5" got them about 5 months later at the same size. These are great fish and love following each other around the tank 24/7, and they also seem to enjoy getting in all of my cichlids faces too lol. I cant wait to have some 10+ inch monsters!

Definately noticed they like to school together, just been trying to find some a little bigger as my guy is quite a brute and petsmarts are small compared to him
