Spotted Rafael Cat

[GeneralTso]

I just got a Spotted Rafael Cat from my LFS. i have no idea how to take care of this fish, it was an impulse buy. so what does it eat, what water temps can it handle, and any other helpfull info that you guys might be able to give me. the guy at the fish store sold me shrimp pellets to feed it, but it does not seem interested in them at all. i tryed earthworms, and it didnt want them either. im thinking maybe the water is too warm, but im not sure. turning off the lights didnt seem to help either. any info will be great. thanks

Mine eat bloodworm and catfish pellets. I suspect they'd eat brine shrimp etc but the other fish in the tank always eat it all before they come out of hiding.
Doras will hide almost 100% of the time. I used to see mine a fair bit but since they moved to the larger tank with far more hiding spaces I almost never see one and the other I only see cos he's chosen a hidey spot right at the front of the tank and I can see him in there!

thanks for the info. how often should i feed him, and how much?

I tend to feed once a day. They're fine with that and always just as I'm off to bed. They like it very dark.
