You gotta remember flatheads are bottom feeders. And they have a keen sense of smell, so just drop something in and he will eat eventually, he also is a little bit predatory so you will need to give him some minnows in the tank

This happens to lots of fish when I would either add new fish or give the tanks a good cleaning sometime my larger Oscar’s wouldn’t eat for about 2-3 days because they were stressed what I found that worked the best was just having the room dark with the tank lights off I think the dark allows them to relax 👍

Did you acclimate it to the water before throwing him in? You probably gave him parameter shock, a lake or pond has a completely different chemistry to a sand only/non planted tank. I’d recommend learning more about his natural environment and building a tank based off of that, wild animals don’t adapt to being tossed in a box very easily

actully you don't have to simulate the wild enviroment. They will slowly adapt that new "house", as long as that tank big enough so they can still grow healthy. Frank just stress out and he's need more time to be adapted the tank, he can stay hungry long enough until he's "calm"

Remember, bullhead catfish can go within 10 days to two weeks without eating. Although I wouldn’t recommend that lifestyle. Also try adding structures. Bullheads are like flatheads and like to stay in little caves and dark areas.

I'm no expert, but I'm guessing it's between temperature and "bedding". Whenever I would take care of a creature I took out of its environment, I would usually grab as much as I could of its environment and matched its ecosystem so they could adjust over a period of time. However, if this didn't work, I would usually let them go if they continued not to eat so they wouldn't die on me. Hope this helps, best wishes for your fish.

Give him a hide, when I caught a European perch (I'm in uk) I put it in the tank on its own and for 2days he would not move and when it did it would swim around very erratic but asoon as I put a big hide it stayed inside for around 5 days and then I would see him out of the hide on day 8 and that's when he took his first feed.

Then I added the other three the big guy ate instantly but the other two took a little while. But just give them structure and let em chill and they should start eating

Spoiler alter. Frank the Flathead did start eating. He also got some driftwood pieces as cover. I wouldn't worry about Frank being confined. I think, as long as they have enough space and the right conditions of water, it doesn't bother them. I have come to some conclusions about birds and cages too, but I'll leave that out.

This is the same video he posted about gus ( who needs a bigger tank) just with a different fish. The fact that this animal is not eating could be signs of numerous problems. It also could be as simple as waiting until the fish de-stresses before you try and interact with him. I have no idea why this is such a surprise seeing as how this fish was caught out of the wild and taken out of its natural habitat thus a build up of stress factors leading to the unwillingness to eat. Now before people start crying aver how I must be a hater I want to say this. I am not a hater I just tell the truth and the truth is he is barley able to keep Gus in good conditions how can he expect a flathead catfish to thrive?
