How Do You Feed A Nocturnal Catfish?

[RobGoldsmith]

I have been reading that hara hara catfish need to be fed at night as they are very slow and wont fight for food in a busy tank.

What can i feed them? I tried putting frozen blood worm in after dark but the other fish still went mad and tried to get it all. They havent eaten flakes as they dont touch the bottom! I have ordered catfish pellets but they havent arrived yet.

I never see them eat And they are out in the day a lot, hope they arent hungry!

Any ideas?

My plecs get sinking algae pellets and JMC catfish pellets (also sinking) just before turning all lights off. That way other fish won't find and eat plec's food. Buy them from Ebay supersellers
