Worried About My Channel Catfish

Post by J-man »

Ibought two channel catfish today and I am worried about one of them. One is swimming around but the other seems to stick more to the bottom and hardly swim. Is it normal for them to also be always opening and closing their mouths.

Do you have any "logs, tunnels etc" for them to hide in? they tend to like dark places, at night you may see both swimming around searching for some thing to eat. Mine usually stays in his log untill night time which is when i feed him. What are you feeding them? Mine likes an assortment of tropical flakes and bloodworms but im looking at getting a special catfish forumla here this week. Any questions you can e-mai lme MGrant@pigeonrivershelties.net
