Impaired Pangasius

[Loric]

I have a pangasius sutchi (?) which came in to the aquatic centre I work at with no eyes at all- or eye sockets! I'm guessing he was like that from birth or maybe lost them at an early age. He was the only one like that in the bag, and he now has a happy life in one of my large aquariums. Although he's not thin, he does (logically!) have a job finding the food before the other fish. I have some success with sinking catfish pellets but since adding a couple of parrot fish he is missing out! Any suggestions on feeding greatly appreciated.....

[Silurus]

Try something with a stronger smell, like maybe bloodworms, or you could soak some of the pellets and squash them to spread the smell better.

[Chrysichthys]

Try VitaKraft Special Mix. It's a mixture of freeze-dried invertebrates which sinks very slowly, giving shoaling predators plenty of time to snap it up. It has quite a strong smell.

Most UK pet shops stock VitaKraft pet foods, and should be able to order it if they don't normally stock it.
