What do you feed your bichirs?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
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.
 
it will be included with the general care information that will be stickied later in the week I have a couple of things to work on for it yet -Anne
 
beefheart,massivore delight,spirinela,market shrimp all grinded up mixed and the frozen. cut up and feed
 
shrimp and sinking brine shrimp pellets is mine's main diet, but he ocasionally get an earth worm. (can't treat him with a feeder guppy until he is bigger then one lol)
 
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???
