What do you feed your bichirs?

yeah it's kinda hard to add to the conversation when anne just posted, lol , but,
mine love frozen bloodworms, sinking pellets and guppies! (not too often tho.)

Hmmm... Much of the same already listed. I have that massivore stuff that was mentioned earlier, but really the only fish that eat it are my dels and sens. I feed mostly silversides and shrimp from the deli, but sometimes I'll get some earthworms when I'm at WalMart (did yall know they sell them there? Beats finding a bait shop) or pick up a dozen feeders after work, treat only of course.

Oh lord. Worms. I just now remembered... I think I have two dozen in the bottom of the fridge from like forever ago. GROSS!!!

Now there's some info that DEFINITELY needs to be in a sticky, Anne. That info you just posted is amazing! I didn't realize that anyone knew that much about their feeding and health.

Mine loves worms right out of the ground. I'll keep as many as I can in a cooler full of dirt and dig them out when it's time to feed.

Krill, Hikari Carnivore Pellets, Hikari Massivore Delite, and a little beefheart......works good IMO......

just wondering, with the chicken/turkey gizzards, do you feed them raw or do I have to cook/boil them before hand?

I would cook either blanch or boil or broil or bake..because i would be afraid of bacteria ..but lets see what the experts say???
