Feather fin synodontis feeding

[AmyKieran]

Hi there, I own a feather fin syno about 7 inch long. I’m worried that he isn’t getting enough food. He usually stays in his ship all day and when I feed my other catfish he doesn’t bother moving. I’ve even tried putting food through a tube directly into the ship but doesn’t seem bothered. I’m feeding catfish pellets which all other catfish love. I’ve heard they are pretty ferocious eaters and will pretty much devour food but mine doesn’t seem bothered.

Any advice?

Most catfish are active swimmers and don't need feeding every day. Unless the fish looks skinny, I wouldn't worry too much. If you are concerned, try adding some frozen food like bloodworms and see if it comes out.
