Your thoughts on feeding hot dogs to large catfish?!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I wasn't referring to you. I meant 'in general'. We've seen a large number of threads on the same subject and alot of keepers have heard (usually through a club or lfs) of those that primarily feed hot dogs and other non-traditional food items to their fish.

I never said I couldn't afford it oddball I am very sorry if you took it that way I can very much afford to feed my fish I could even afford to buy massivore in large quantities please don't misconstrue what I said all I was saying is that I was curious as to what your guys thoughts on the topic was I would not take on a red tail cat and my other monsters if I could not afford it that would be irresponsible on my part I didn't mean it like i can't afford food is this a better option I meant it as I am curious to know if this was healthy for my monsters to have hotdogs as a treat I am sorry if you took it the wrong way :(

I do it all the time. I live around many ponds, streams, and rivers and routinely fish for both my fry pan and to feed out my fish. I freeze fillets and chunks down to 0F before feeding out the meats. Never had a parasite issue either. I also feed out live quarantined fish. But, I have alot more space than others to set up several hundred gallons of Q tanks.

Thanks boss. :thumbsup:

I couldn't imagine the complaints that people could have against feeding fish to their piscivorous fish. What you've said makes sense to me, I'm glad that I was right in this. What you've described is exactly how I go about preparing my wild fish.

Plus, for me, any excuse to get down to the river is a winner!
 
Any additional thoughts on vits/supplements oddball? Some say freezing fish and thawing it removes most of the actual nutrition. Do u use any kind of vits to replace this during ur feeding process?

All I can say is dont swim in the tank if your fish like hot dogs.

I feed mainly live and fresh foods. I do supplement my fish with Vita-Chem, trace minerals, etc. But, I don't want to get too deep on that aspect in the catfish forum. Such a discussion would best be fodder for the Nutrition forum.
