Cat fish is a picky eater

[POLARBEAR0871]

I have a 9" red tail catfish (please don't give me crap about it, thanks) every time I get it feeders it doesn't eat them right away. Instead it swims through the group of fish and picks them off one by one why does it do this?

Why do you give it feeders? There is not much to them and they're dirty. Redtails should eat everything if they don't something is wrong. How long have you had the fish?

I've had the fish for over 4 months and it just started. But he starts with the mid sized feeders then go to small the to big but I feed him feeders because he won't eat anything else and also for some reason they make him more colorful I don't know how but it does.

my cory fish go nuts about algae wavers.

A red tailed catfish and a corydoras are very different. Try feeding him silversides and bloodworms. Feeders suck
