Tag Archives: bottom feeders

My channel catfish, which I recently caught, won’t eat. Is there any way to get it to eat the fish food?

I caught the fish in freshwater harbour with pieces of frozen corn. Will the fish die if it doesn’t start eating right away? I purchased shrimp tablets for bottom feeders, but he doesn’t seem to be interested. Is this because he just isn’t used to that kind of food? Hopefully when he gets hungry enough, he’ll start to dig around and learn to like the shrimp pellets.

Dragon goby questions?

I have been researching dragon gobies lately and have found more questions then answers. Most of the information is conflicting. I assume they do best in brackish water and some websites say they only survive in it, others say that they can thrive in a freshwater environment, some others say it can adapt to a marine system,the real anwser? I have also read that they can be fierce predators and eat small fish and shrimp, other sources say they they filter feed, and still others say they are main bottom feeders, which is true? Some say that it can live in a warm or cold water aquaiurm. Food as well i have read about what to feed them and ive seen every kind of fish food under the sun from algae waffers to ghostshrimp to flakes, what would be the best foods to feed them?

I am interested in keeping this fish and would like to know what type of environment that will keep it happy and healthy. If you have any info please share.
