My Pangasius Catfish are not taking food?

I have three pangasius catfish in my aquarium but they are not eating anything since I brought them a month ago. On a website I also read that there should be 1 or 6 pangasius catfish for best survival. Is it true?
I feed them:
Floating Pellets
Sinking Pellets
Flake Food
Blood Worms
Tubifex Worms
Are these foods sufficient? If not, then please tell me some another food that they can eat!

I have never found pangasius to be fussy feeders so what you are offering is fine.
How big are the fish? & how big is the tank? What is the pH and Nitrate readings? What other fish are there? Is it an established tank or newly set-up?
The more detail you can provide the easier it should be for us to provide answers.
Pangs do do better in groups when smaller.

particularly my post - 2nd post - you may wanna try playing with sinking vs not sinking foods
It is also very possible something is wrong with your water, unless you are an experienced fish keeper and have the know-how.
