Like the title says its a tiger shovelnose catfish that I have. Sorry for causing so much commotion! The fish doesn't seem to go after any food (trout pellets, meaty flakes, vegetable flakes...) other than live food. I wish it did it would save me a few bucks. I even tried feeding it small pieces of hotdogs (I read on the web to try it). But low and behold he only likes the live ones. I have two clarius catfish as well and they eat everything and anything! The clarius are in with two red eared slider turtles and they get along great. I tried to put the shovelnose in with them and the turtles almost killed it (they tried to eat it) so he had to be put in my small 33 gallon goldfish tank for now thats going to be a shovelnose and large silver dollar tank soon cause he won't stop eating the goldfish. Will eventually have to upgrade my saltwater tank (its a 108 gallon) and it will become the shovelnose tank I guess. This hobby of mine can be so costly!
