Hi Eric and i'm Eric as well, nice to meet you.

About cat fish, they eat almost everything they found in the tank. But they love blood worm and black worm a lot. Or you can buy them dry worm in block. They will sucks on the block for food. Beside that, dead fish n shrimp will be their superb meal as well.

Hope your cat fish would grow nicely..^_^

The fact that it's mouth is straight forward generally indicates it's a predator rather than a bottom feeding scavenger.

Try garden worms and sinking pellets for fish.
