Red Tail cat

[woodie]

i have a lovely red tail catfish i have only had him a week, but he hasntt eaten all the time i have had him... now my local expert said only feed him when he swims around looking for food... but now i'm getting worried and wonder if i should defrost some beef heart and give him a try... i know it takes a long time for a healthy one to starve but it dosnt stop me worrying

what would you do

Beef heart is not a good food for fish and should only be used sparing as a treat (or not at all prefferably).

RTC are nocturnal feeders so should be fed with the aquarium lights off and the room lights dimmed, try feeding mussels cut in half, cockles and whitebait.

just to say he's eating fine now, think he was just settling in
