He'll eat pellets, just give him time

im conserned i want him to eat, he had a 2000 km ride to my house
he has like 2 white spots at the end of the up fin
 
i got my 15 cm RTC, and i dont know what to feed him, he dosent eat the pellets, and people say i cant give feeders becouse parasites, SO ?

You bought your first RTC...........Let the cat sit and soak up his new scenery for 1-4 days..........Try feeding the fish by hand with a shrimp..........Catfish are known to eat anything, they are scavengers........So, stock up the shelves, and the refrigerator, with food.'Go to the local ASIAN Supermarket and purchase the following:

popcorn shrimp
silversides
size 28-33 shrimp
p-rawns

ANd at the local fish aquarium store:
FROZEN KRILL
SOme type of color enhancing pellet.I prefer HIKARI color enhancing pellets.....Feed the pellets everyday, twice(morning and evening)........The pellets is the important part of diet, it is inexpensive and guaranteed lots of essential vitamins........New fish usually do not eat within the first 3-7 days of purchased.....
