I'm not sure if I saw a few things on this video correctly. First, is he feeding full grown African cichlids to his fish (that could be traded in for a lot of feeders! ). Second, and a whole lot more interesting, is that catfish luring and directing its prey with those whiskers. It appears to be true especially in the second video.

I've never kept TSN so maybe this is really common knowledge...just curious.

I think that thread is locked. Just look at one of the lower barbels in the second video. I thought they were 'feelers' as well but it looks a little odd in that vid.

So, out of curiosity, does anyone else see that middle, bottom barbel twitching as the TSN moves up on the fish (in the second video)? I'd just like to hear if other TSN observers have seen it or if I'm off my rocker! The key here was that I wasn't looking for it in the first place, it jumped out at me. Otherwise I think I'd even question myself!

Oh yeah, nice fish! (TSN and the feeder! )

I figured it out on my own... the powerhead is blowing that whisker, it's not being used for luring.

Good call JesseD
Doh!
