Yes I know they were supposed to be a little smaller. I wanted to put the rtcs with them but now I have to grow them out more in the grow out tank. Once they get big enough its time to start the pond build. And then I can get another for my 150. | |

| You should ask whoever you got them from at MFK what they were feeding the fish before you got them. | |

I did. He said he was feeding them shrimp, and chicken. I've tried both and still not. I'll try soaking them in garlic. | |

| Catfish are slow to come around to eating sometimes. Grunty (RTC/TSN) didn't eat here for the first two weeks. If the cats are sitting and not doing anything, they may actually be content for the time being. I only feed the cats here when they're active and on patrol. So Grunty gets fed once a week. The kitten (5 inch RTC) gets fed maybe twice a week. I've never had any luck with the garlic thing. I've had much better luck getting live wiggly food. For cats that big, I'd go get a tub of big earthworms. The gigantic nightcrawlers they sell for bait. Just rinse 'em off first. Mine here also really really like that crazy catfish dough bait. The one I have is called Catfish Dynamite, but I wouldn't feed that to them regularly. Since it's a bait, they don't put the ingredients on the tub. I don't think it will hurt for a snack or to motivate a reluctant eater though. | |

| Also I would check your water parameters and make sure everything is still in line....You have increased your bio load quite a bit....It might take some time catching up....make sure there is no Ammonia spikes and the Nitrate is not up high...post your results so we can see where you are at. | |
