It may be a piscivor, but chicken heart is not its natural diet.

.....brings to mind beef heart which was popular to feed to fish years ago.I was never on board with that but I guess it couldn't hurt as a treat,same goes for chicken heart.

Hydrolycus armatus – Payara (Hydrocyon armatus) — Seriously Fish

Diet
An obligate but generalised piscivore capable of consuming prey up to around half its own body size.

Newly-imported specimens often refuse to accept anything but live fishes but most can be weaned onto dead alternatives once recognised as edible.

Like the vast majority of predatory fishes this species should not be fed mammalian or avian meat like beef heart or chicken, and similarly there is no benefit in the long-term use of ‘feeder’ fish such as livebearers or small goldfish which carry with them the risk of parasite or disease introduction and at any rate tend not have a high nutritional value unless properly conditioned beforehand.
