How to feed bottom dwellers?

[nicksteele7]

I have a goonch and tigrinus that will only eat if food is dropped right in front of them. Do you have recommendations for a tool (i was thinking a metal pole with a clamp of the end or something) that i can use to reach the bottom with food? Thanks - Nick

Just use a hollow tube like pvc and drop the food in it so it travels down to the bottom. If they're like other catfish, do this after the lights go out. They're are usually out and about scavenging after dark.

I'm trying but I don't understand why that is a problem. You drop the food in front of them and they eat. Are you unable or unwilling to drop the food in front of them?

Is there something more to the story?

I'll try that thx. Power heads and other fish make it hard to get it in their face
