Why is my tiger shovelnose catfish not eating?
- Thread starter Big Back Double Mac

I’ve used seachem garlic guard with good results. I’d try again after days. Wouldn’t attempt feeding right away.
In my experience with young tigers. Try an earthworm at dusk when the tank lights are out but there is enough light to see the fish ( not the main room light on) . For earthworm though you may need less current.
I never found tigers to need or like huge flow when young.
They don’t seem to be able to resist that moving worm when they are settled.

already tried that both with the light on and off, still didnt eat the worms.
Update: My Tiger Shovelnose is starting to eat! although i didnt see it, but its still progress. Thanks for helping me out guys! Cant wait to put him in my 2000 gal pond with the others.
Congrats! But you can't say 2000g pond and 700g tank without pics...
The pond is still in construction, but the tank is here, I’ll be switching out the fish as soon as my tsn is about 2’. I’ll be putting him with an Arapaima and a alligator gar, the tank is only a temporary, but when they get big my pond will most likely be done by then.
I think you will have your hands more than full with an arapaima 
I don't believe bull sharks can be kept in captivity, not long term anyway, just like great whites and most other sharks cannot be. No Public Aquarium has one on display for this reason it seems. I've not seen one anyway. Again, speaking long term. Experimentation does happen.
