Feeding baby gulper catfish
Hello everyone!
I recently managed to get hold of 3 really tiny gulper catfishes of around 1 inch in length. They are very active and show no signs of ill health. However I am having trouble feeding them as they seem to be afraid of the small pieces of fish I have attempted to feed them. Furthermore they don't seem to proactively find food. Only 1 of the 3 has successfully eaten a piece. Anyone who has kept such small gulpers able to give any advice? |

Yeah that's what I did, made several small pieces of fish meat from a fillet, but they freaked out once their whiskers touched it haha

I woke up early today to try to feed them again. Seems that they more readily accept foods in the night/early morning when they are more active. Now 2 of the 3 have eaten!
