can someone tell me some info on pimelodus blochii except the cat-e-log. The cat-e-log is good info but I have been studying that so much I practically memorized it.

I used to have a group of four, which learned to eat bits of prawn from my hand. You might be able to get yours to do that.

that would be awesome but he s really skidish. how do I do that without scaring him. BTW I hand feed my Glyptoperichthys scrophus I get a cichlid stick and hold it in the top of the water and he comes up and eats it from my fingers.

When it's feeding time, keep the lights dim and and take a morsel of food (a pinch of freeze-dried bloodworm is good) and hold it just under the water surface, keeping your hand very still. It may not work the first time, but keep trying. It takes a while for them to get up the courage.
