Feeding Glass Catfish - Question

Seti1st · Post by **Seti1st** » 03 Aug 2004, 18:48

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum, and relatively new to keeping fish. I have a 30-gal setup, and I recently got 4 glass catfish. My concern is that the catfish aren't getting enough to eat. They don't seem to eat flake, so I got some frozen foods for them - but they're so shy they don't come out much at feeding time, and danios snatch most of the frozen food I put in, while the rest falls on the bottom for the corys. How can I make sure the glass cats eat well? Breaking up dried brine shrimp cubes in the water seemed to work better, it created this cloud of food particles that took a bit longer to settle. Is this the best way to go? Thanks in advance.

You could try feeding freeze dried worms after lights out,They float for a good while and maybe worth a try.

Hope this helps

Spray a cloud of frozen brine shrimp at them with a dropper. That usually works.

As far as flake, mine seem to go for Spirulina

...I use a fish-only turkey baster that has never seen soap to feed slowpokes...
