Tigrinis catfish

[herman moorr]

Just picked up this guy and thought I would share some pics. Comparing him to my juruense he is way more defined in color and within 2 hours already eating. Would love to get him off live foods and onto pellets, etc. Any tricks to accomplish this you guys are aware of please let me know. I have almost tossed in the towel with both of my juruense as they show no interest in frozen or dry foods.

This is a very common question. Seems every other thread on jurs and tigs contains a diet question. Search brings about plenty hits:
