Decided for fun to drop a silverside in there….
Seems the good old throw a towel on glass to block out light trick worked for me again. Peep the stomach on this guy. I didn’t see him eat but the fish were gone lol.

No usual diet is high quality pellets like bug bites and massivore, shrimp sometimes, silversides, and even algae wafers.
I also forgot, worms are a big one. Not often, but he goes crazy for them.
Yessir. I throw a clump in there. He goes crazy for it.An absolute classic as far as fishing for Silurus sp. goes
Talk about biting off more than you can chew 
This guy is such a character. Very nocturnal fish, and very toothy. He chows on pellets and shrimp as well as silversides. I’m just curious as to what are the fish are thiaminese free. Of course viktor would be the one to ask. Still don’t know how to tag people yet. But this guy is quickly packing weight and he’s super in tact. Absolutely the coolest little catfish I’ve had the chance to care for.
I've posted the list from literature search that I made of thiaminase-containing and thiaminase-free fish several times on the MFK. Since then Ive learned that the Tennessee Public Aquarium head vet at Chattanooga professes that all frozen fish contain thiaminase, some more some less. I've not figured this one out yet but this info carries a lot of weight due to this vet's position. Ive solicited input on this from other vets, from University of Florida, and private, but vets seem reluctant to discuss the opinions of their peers with others, like us the hobbyists.
