    Default catfish not eating??

    My new foxface catfish is not eating..
    i've tried hikari carnivore, massivore, NLS,frozen krill cut up,live nightcrawlers and magicbuggs beefheart mix...
    can't get him to eat anything.

    i have only had him for a few days now.

    every one else eats like crazy and the catfish shows no interest in food what so ever.
    any ideas on how to get this guy to eat are welcome...
    thanks in advance..

    Since he is new to the tank that's usually the reason. Give it atleast 2 weeks. Also try and feed at night with no lights on the tank.
