i've had an albino walking catfish for about 2 weeks, and it's so hyper looking for food.

after i feed it, i stop, cuz it's belly looks to bust.

but then it's still sniffn around trying to find something to stuff in its gullet.
it's just a little guy, not barely an inch.

how much is a fair feeding portion?

thanks in advance.
 
I think you should cut down on feeding huge portions at one go.. maybe split up the daily portions into 3 meals?... breakfast, lunch and dinner... :D
 
HAD ONE YEARS AGO ATE JUST LIKE THE ONE YOU HAVE VERY ANNOYING TO OTHER FISH THEY MOVE CONSTANLY AND EAT UP THE FOOD FROM THE REST OF THE FISH .THEY START TO TEAR UP OTHER FISH FINS AFTER A WHILE AND GET PRETTY LARGE

Im feeding two times a day with chicken meat ,red worm,Hikari pellets and resoult is - from 7cm to 28cm in 75 days.
 
day 108th-female31cm,male28cm=24cm and 21cm in 108days.I like it.soon they go to 450 L from theirs only200L...
 
My fish is the same way : )

As soon as he is fed he is all over the tank looking for food.

He looks cool when he goes to the top of the tank with his head out of water and takes night crawlers from my hand. I am afraid he is going to jump out of the tank when he does this, but he knows food is coming when I get close to the tank.
