Zucchini can be chopped up and added to your home mix. I surprised that they
don't already help the catfish eat it - mine do.

One of the problems here in Oz is that all fish foods are imported and the
cost of Tetra, OSI, etc, etc is probably about 4-5 times the price that you
pay for them in the States. So it a lot cheaper to make your own food mixes,
even adding all the best ingredients.
