For those of you who read my earlier post about my albino channel catfish, I am
happy to report that I tried feeding him this evening, and he finally started
eating. After not eating for since tuesday evening, he was quite hungry. He
looks to be back to his normal frisky self, whatever the problem was. I think
he was stunned by the lack of O2 after the power got knocked out, but I also
think that the ferocity of the storm might also have played a role, as he would
not come to the surface as he usually does at feeding time, and stayed near the
bottom for the last few days, although he was swimming around normally. But he
finally came to the surface this evening after sunset when it is harder for him
to see me. Catfish are also nocturnal, and usually feed at night in the wild,
but he has been feeding at sunrise and sunset, and pretty much any other time
that I decide to feed him. What a relief to find that he is ok.
