that's what I'm going to feed hers. (it's not in my tank but she's prego so i take care of it for now lol)

Have you looked at planetcatfish for feeding tips ?

Straight from planetcatfish.

These fish are grazers, but not in the sense that they eat only vegetation. They actually sift and chew at the film of organic matter on hard surfaces in search of higher protein foods. In the wild this would constitute a variety of foods from small insect larvae and crustaceans to other animals eggs and possibly even recently dead animals. With this in mind, frozen foods such as bloodworm and blackworm should be offered along with frozen prawns. Algae and plants are avoided, but cucumber and courgette appear on the accepted menu. Accepted food morsel size changes with age in all of these fish.

Yes I already read this before the purchase that is why I asked if I could feed it those pellets.
