Pictus cat not eatin

[bkiggy]

I have a new 40 gallon tank, all live Plants, 1 pictus cat and an African
Butterfly.
The cat I've never seen eat. No wafers, no meat, feeder fish,
Nothing. Swims like crazy !! All day and night.
The butterfly just chills at the top and waits for me to drop something
Alive in there for him.
My ghost shrimp have all died but one. Not eaten just died.
?
Help

40 gallon - Pictus Won't Eat

Anyone know how to get a pictus cat to eat? I've tried everything! He doesn't like wafers or beef
chunks. ?

Are you sure the fish is not feeding at night? Are you observing any other signs of illness or odd behavior? What are your tank specs? Ammonia/nitrite/nitrate/temp/pH? How long has the tank been up? Was it cycled before adding fish?

I have 2 pictus and i learned if they dont eat their food within 24 hrs wait another 24 hrs and then feed them. My first pictus had trouble eating but my second came right up and ate the food
