Anything you want to feed it!! My 6" has devoured 4" Pangasius Cats and a 5" Zamora Cat. Even at it's largest a Tiger Shovelnose will be small enough for a full grown Redtail Cat to eat. The only fish I can think of that will get too large for a Redtail to eat is an Aripima Gigas, and I don't know if you can ship an Aripima in legally. If you can ship in an Aripima it would take a full size swimming pool to house it once it's full grown.
