I got 2 tigrinus cats obout 5 days ago and up to this point I havent seen them eat anything yet. These are the first that I have kept, and I understand that very small ones are very hard to keep. These are not very small rather both are about 10" and appear to be in good shape. I have tried night crawlers, shrimp, Hikari carnivore pellets and some frozen cubes ( squid and clams ) Any suggestions or anyone with personal experience would really be appreciated.
tigrinus wont eat
- Thread starter MATTCB
- Start date
Five days is not long for fish to not eat after a move, just give them a few more days and try feeding them in low light conditions when the room is not busy.
Night crawlers are a good choice for finicky catfish, esp. if you dip them in garlic juice first.
I would not start to worry yet.

Your tigs are still not use to their new environment. Therefore if possible, try to add in so driftwoods, etc for them to hide.......
I would suggest you switch off the lights when u r feeding them......they will accept more willingly!
