i agree that active at night is normal, but i dont know why it ate so little, there are always some feeder fish in front of it and i know its hungry, but it may only eat 1or2 and stop and stay.
the reason why i do not try bloodworms are even worse then feeder fish, i think they are breed from animal waste... but whenever i put in feeder fish, i will put in some antiseptic, and also i will do it in small dose once or twice a week... so i think this will be safer..

sure i know it can grows so big, the problem i am worrying is that if it has any problem right now that can lead it to death...

I'm talking about frozen blood worms. Look into Hikari Bio-Pure frozen blood worms. They are fantastic. If you can't get him to eat those, try live red wriggler earthworms.

Also, I would be very concerned that dosing medication into your tank regularly would damage your fish's livers,kidneys and other organs.
 
I don't think there's any problem with your tsn..mine sits in the corner all day like a bump on a log until he gets his bloodworms..then he just kinda noses around and strikes at them like a snake. I'm getting another soon tho so I will be able to compare thier personalities. :)

ic.... so mine one is quite similar then, but just still less eager for food, may be i should give it much more time to adjust itself to the new environment!
 
i myself got two "hybrid" catfish. The tsn X rtc, one floats kinda in his log like hes dead untill i feed the tank and the other just kinda lays around. Most catfish are lazy or just dont want to be seen. i also have a decent size albino channel catfish that wont come out of his hide unless the lights are off and everyone is outta the room:screwy:
