id say right in the middle to be safe..and id's are schooling fish..and as you know require a huge tank..so between no other buddies to hang with, and the tank being too small, hes probably stressed and doesnt want to eat.....and even though he is a juvie right now, stunted organs will be an issue as he grows..

If they aren't eating bloodworms, you might try some type of catfish pellet. Assuming, of course, that the lack of appetite isn't stress-related as Shawnie mentioned.

Youngsters are more carnivorous than adults. Bloodworm and catfish tablets are best at first, moving onto shrimp and spinach cubes as the fish get larger. Ultimately any primarily vegetable based floating pellet foods.

They should eat what is given, as most catfish, unless there is something wrong with the water.
