I bought a 2" redtail catfish a year ago. He is now 17" and he used to be a hog. He would eat any and everything I put in the tank within seconds. He would get so fat he would sit in 1 spot for 2 days till he pooped it out. I fed him anything from raw chicken thighs, hamburger beef, fish, etc. He loved all of it. 1 month ago I fed him hamburger meat and I went to bed. I woke up the next morning to a smelly apartment which was the tank. He spit the food back up. I changed the water right away and everything seemed fine. I tried to feed him and he wouldnt eat and still wont. It has been over a month since he has eaten good. He eats a small bite of something every couple of days. His color has changed on his back from black to a unhealthy grey color. He is in a 120 gallon tank w/ a 7" butterkofri and 8" jaguar and they are just fine. Please help or give a suggestion. Thanks

maybe the tank is getting to small for him to grow(redtails need atleast a 180 gallon tank)
