Wild caught bluegill pumpkin seed and yellow bullhead

Si

any idea how I can them to eat???

Since they're wild caught they're gonna need a few weeks to settle in, so it might be that long before they start eating
Catfish will probably eat leftover food when the lights turn off though

I put some pellets in there and a bluegill put one in it’s mouth then spit it out

The water and fish that’s in the river could also be from the most polluted lake in the US as it does flow into it and would this be bad

Ty for all the help

If they were living in it I'm sure they're fine

It will take them awhile to get used to the fact that pellets and other prepared foods are in fact food

Just give them time
They will eat on their own when they're ready
Just feed small amounts until you see them actually eating so you don't mess up your water quality

Had to do a water change as the ammonia spiked to 0.25-0.5 ish apparently half a month is not enough time to cycle

It is not in fact long enough to cycle, unless you had existing filter bacteria
