I've recently added three little Julii catfish to my 110 litre tank. I've got some sinking pellets for them, but am concerned about how they will locate them....they spend all day under the plants and seem to show themselves mostly when the lights are switched off (which is then when I can't see what they're doing!).
I feed the other fish with flakes or a stick-on-the-glass tablet around (my) lunchtime, but if I drop in catfish pellets at that time, they just disappear into the gravel or start disintegrating. Is it customary therefore to feed these fish later in the day and/or when the tank lights are turned off? What else bar the pellets can I offer them, so that they will find it?
Have to be careful at the moment because I seem to be over-feeding....(got snails)....
