I found a couple of things...
They are omnivorous, eating both plant and animal material along the bottom of streams and lakes.
This is from an article about a different species of sucker that they were trying to raise in a hatchery but might explain why they won't eat......
Fresh, frozen, dried foods -nothing worked. But finally, last year they found the secret to getting the fish to eat. The water at the hatchery was too alkaline. A small change in pH, from about 8.8 down to 8.5 made a big difference. "They went on to feed immediately,"
Hope it helps....cheers
