River Monster Flathead Catfish eats..........

So my flathead catfish finally decided he would like to eat something!!!  I've been keeping this fish for about 3 weeks since I picked it up from the air port is has not eaten until now!!!  So what did it eat?  Believe it or not it ate salad shrimp.  :)  I had also previously got it to take some blood worms, but IMO that doesn't really count as it barely does anything for a fish this size.  I will continue to feed him shrimp and eventually I hope to get him on frozen silversides as well for added nutrition.  This predatory fish has gained a bad rap as a fish that will only eat live.  Here I have shown that in as little as 2-3 weeks this fish can be weened onto frozen meaty foods such as shrimp, fish fillet, ect.  Check out my youtube channel: necrocanis on there as well.  I hope to be writing some very interesting information up on keeping large catfish in the near future!!!
