Your friend can try taking chicken liver and dropping it to the bottem of the tank. The cat fish should eat that. My friend keeps a bass and a catfish had the same problem this worked for him.graysilm said:i know a guy who has caught a bass, bluegill, pumpkinseed, and catfish, all native to north carolina and done a tank. He had to feed the bass and panfish live crickets. He could never get the catfish to eat. There is a fish hatchery owned by the state near me and they raise all those fish and they eat pellets. I am sorta thinking it might be better for me to get my native fish from there cause feeding will prolly be a lot easier.
He tried that, but it raises the ammonia very quickly.BELLUM said:Your friend can try taking chicken liver and dropping it to the bottem of the tank. The cat fish should eat that. My friend keeps a bass and a catfish had the same problem this worked for him.
