These catfish are omnivores and not picky eaters.
In the wild, they feed on decaying plant matter, small fish and invertebrates. In captivity, provide them with high-quality pellets, frozen foods like bloodworms and occasional veggies.
Feeding in the evening suits their nocturnal habits, and regular mealtimes help manage quality and consistency. Pro tip: Use sinking foods, as pictus catfish tend to feed from the bottom.
