i recently just bought a zamora catfish and its behavior is a little weird, after i put him in he dug a hole under a rock and just hides there all day and only comes out for his food. I wanted to know if this is normal?

yes...
most cats are nocturnal predators. give'em a few days to get acclimated. feed after lights out and see what happens

Something that worked for me: I didnt turn the tank light on at all first, i kept the room light on till the were active at night with the room light. Then i put foil over the tank light so the tank light wasnt bright, waited till they stayed out, then i took it completly off and all my catfish are active all day with the tank light. I dont have that catfish you have but i have other nocturnal catfish and thier active allday!
same here i saw it at the store and it looked realy active and when i brought it home it was the opposite
thats just due to being taken out of their environment and put into a new one.africanknife;2456666; said:
let me throw a sack over your head, fly you to a 3rd world country and pull the sac off your head.
well the sac has been off its head for about a year now, and still not active. haha and how do you think they get to the store? naturally swim, many fish are in the store under a month before being sold, so it has been in my tank much longer than it had to establish an environment in store

i wasnt try to convey an attitude, and you never said you had it for a year. seems to me like you just got a p***y fish.
