How long does your new catfish fast?
I bought a Lima cat recently and it doesn't eat anything. Tried mp, live ghost shrimp and silver fish as recommended.
3rd week already although its still active. |

6 inch. It doesn't eat pellets either. The ghost shrimp are useful scavengers. Maybe I'll try guppies next. I hate the idea of feeding live food though.

Last night tried MP again in the dark when I got up to pee. No chance.
Patricia is still as slim this morning. The competition are 3 jaguar cats, very relaxed slow feeders so Pat could get to the food first if it wanted to. The other fish are too small. |

Probably u can setup a separate tank to monitor it, if it got internal parasite then need medical treatment.
