What does a fortune catfish eat?

The fortune catfish (red-tailed catfish) is an omnivorous fish that eats both meat and plant foods. Generally you can feed it live animal prey such as small fish, shrimp, earthworms, mealworms, superworms and loaches, and you can also give it chicken, beef and some organ meats.

Finally, the fortune catfish can also be fed fish pellets directly. If you want to use pellets, it is best to start when it is young, so the fish accepts pellets more easily once grown. Fortune catfish are quite greedy and will also eat other small fish smaller than themselves, so it is not advisable to keep them mixed with other small fish at will.
