What are you feeding your Bichirs?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Tilapia, flounder, NLS , Northfin carnivore, and until the bag runs dry northfin jumbo 6mm.

Smaller polys get tilapia, flounder, hikari carnivore (until the bag runs dry) omega one shrimp pellets and nls

Ocasionally they all get worms when i remember to pick them up
Are flounder ok with poly? cause i might stop the smelt, but im looking for subtitute.
 
I actually fed flounder not tilapia for most of the 1st year i was keepimg polys. Wife would just get what ever was on sale.

how big is the pellet size sinking carnivore by NF? pellet size of massivore? doable for small polys under 8 inches?I'm thinking to swtiching to these. But want to finish my NLS first.

What do you guys do when a poly won't touch the pellets anymore? add vitachem or garlic guard?

with shrimp: I think someone mentioned about adding the vitachem to shrimp because of thiamine?

Does it sink easy, cause sometimes the catfish float? And is it high in protien?
Same as tilapia maybe 1 gram difference

Try hikari carnivore for small polys, NF is 10mm too big, starve them until they eat what you want. No benny hes dealing with enough crap rightnow lol
 
kno4te kno4te thought you mentioned somewhere that you fed them bait fish.

Think this will be alright ?

Don't have a poly yet but I want to get sinking pellets down ASAP. And I have some frozen seafish fillets I need to chop up.

I got some free tubifed cubes, although they float would it be a good feed for a small bichir?
