In case some of you were wondering what I feed my bichirs. Just smelts, tilapia and pellets.

I gotta start with the smelt again

 

[clm08k]

how do you feed the smelt: cut it up or serve it whole? Would you recommend it for smaller UJs?

Cut up to bit size if polys small, you can feed whole fish but it makes a mess on the tank. I would recommend it, its a good source.

I usually feed them whole now. Before in the past, I would cut it up but I personally hate cutting it up because its really messy and smells gross. A lot cleaner to dump the whole smelt in.
You can cut it into pieces like this. I would only recommend feeding in small amounts. It can get pretty oily.

In my opinion, it's a lot cleaner to feed whole fish since my bichirs can swallow them whole. But it can be messy if your fish isn't big enough for a whole smelt.

But your fish are bigger compared to others clm08k have UJ with smaller mouth compared to 15”+ LJ that have bigger mouthI also used to feed my LJ whole smelt but for smaller ones they just make a mess.
