I have a Pseudopimelodus bufonius which gets about 10in max and will eat anything you put in front of him even chunks of big fish swimming by

Yeah, what mike_sema said, if its a bufonius. When my bufonius was small, he went crazy for bloodworms.

Then he moved on to large botias, giant danios....you get the idea.

My 6" Asian BUMBLE-BEE catfish swallowed overnight my 4" baby South American MARBLED-ACHARA catfish, which in the wild can grow up to 36". One expensive meal and totally my fault. Took for granted how wide he could open his mouth. He was rocking like a see-saw on his belly the next morning at the bottom of the tank. To answer your question, I like feeding them anything that sinks like Hikari carnivore pellets, Wardley shrimp pellets and spirulina discs.

Definitely looks like a pseudopimelodus. I would say its a bufonius, but I don't know the genus really well. Awesome fish in any case.
