Bichir are generally night time predators. They get trained to eat during the day. With this in mind, chances are high that the weeksii is wild caught, and will start to eat during the day when it feels comfortable there are no predators around (like you). It will eat during the day, once it starts to realize you are not being a predator but a source of food.

it is for sure wild caught, and it is still fairly young as well, it has external gills at the moment. thank you for the reassurance. is my feeding regimen looking alright? is there anything i should be adding?

That's fine... key is trying to get it to eat something.

So salmon has an oily layer on top? Wouldn’t the salmon need to be thin and chopped up before rinsing?

I’ve read that they should be used as a treat, along with brine shrimp.

I provide my own feeders, but the mate of my X. Variatus past away from unknown reasons, so no more feeders. I think rosy red minnows are a good idea, I heard they breed really fast.

I also want something that is easy to find - ghost shrimp seem out of the picture, and would only be seen as a once in a year treat. This is because I need to set another thing up. Maybe a project over the summer, but right now no.

Rosy reds are also high in thiaminase, just like goldfish.
