      I'm only 11 years old and i caught like 15 baby catfish off of NOTHING!! All you need is a pond and a net, it's really not that complicated. So why don't you stop wasting your delicious hot dogs and grab a regular butterfly catching net for once. Baby catfish are not quick at all so it won't be that much of a challenge for ya. But thanks for telling me what I should feed them! Take my advice for it!

          I raised some baby catfish for like two years.I fed them cubed brine from the pet store.They loved that stuff.I had like 7 in a twenty gallon tank.I took them back to the river I caught them in because I was getting different fish for the tank.They reminded me of piranha the way they attacked the cubed brine.

          Many like to eat raw or fried meat. Mainly raw beef, fried hot dogs, insects, soft newborn leaves, brine shrimp. Only feed brine shrimp to babies, because adult catfish will not full off of brine shrimp. They also love little slices of white or wheat bread. Small small pits for babies, but bigger slices for adults. They also can just live in algae pond water and live off of that for about 5 days.  DO NOT OVER FEED YOU'RE CATFISH, BIG OR SMALL!!! They will die if fed to much. I advice you to feed them only around 1 time a day or every 2 days. This is sorta off subject, but it's smartest to just raise 1-3 at a time!

            I had a baby catfish about 2 - 3 inches long. I no longer have it because i gave it too much food. Its a shame i hadn't done some research sooner. I fed it dried bloodworms n baby shrimp. I sure do miss the lil guy =(

            I have about 25 to 30 baby catfish in a 10 gallon aquarium. I feed them once a day, because you can over feed them. They eat grounded up bread crumbs, cubed frozen brine which you can buy at your local pet store, any kind of chicken liver, and algae.
