How long have you had it? Have you tried feeding with the lights off, catfish are a noctournal species.
ditto, plus make sure your water is good of course.:) He will eat, and you will not.:D
 
i got it about 3-4weeks ago i have tried but he doesnt even go by it just sits in the same place. and the last time i checked the water was fine but that was like a week ago and now i dont have anymore tests left so i gotta go buy some

Do a water change anyway! How long has that been?
 
it will be fine catfish dont really move until its dark just buy some massivore pellets and feed with lights out. he will eat then
 
silver sides. my rtc stopped eating my shrimp.. then i fed it silversides and they went into hunting mode
 
what is this silver side you talk about ???
I'll try to find something like that here, but please, post a pic of it
