Wild catfish grow up eating plankton, aquatic insects, small fish, shrimp, etc. They like to eat some small fish such as loach, crucian carp, carp, ear fish, food fish and goby. Catfish have poor eyesight, so when they hunt, they rely on beard and sense of smell. When preying, they will approach the prey first, and when the prey is not found, they will bite with their teeth immediately to prevent the prey from escaping. Catfish is fierce in character and has strong predation ability. In particular, catfish growing in the wild not only have strong predation ability, but also are very powerful in avoiding pursuit.
2. How do catfish grow bigger1. Provide enough food: If you want catfish to grow bigger, you should feed them some high-nutrition food. When cultured artificially, you can feed some food fish, crucian carp, wheat ear fish, etc. In addition to these, you can match some synthetic feeds to ensure balanced nutrition. Catfish like to eat in the early morning and evening, and breeders can choose to feed at this time.
2. Keep a stable environment: Catfish don't like too high water temperature, so it is best to keep the water temperature below 30 ℃ when breeding. They don't require high water quality, so long as they are clean and refreshing. As long as the environment is comfortable and stable, the growth and development speed of catfish will be accelerated, and their body size will grow bigger.
