like any fish, just keep its diet varied and its appetite and health should follow suit.

Bloodworms are a great staple if you can afford it. A good staple of carnivore sinking pellets and Massivore crunched up will last a while. There is also market tilapia and bait worthy earthworms too. Varied is great, but sengs will eat pretty much whatever. ;-)

all covered. once it's abit old, feed ur bichirs with mainly sinking pellets. a very nutitious staple food. just never feed ur precious bichir ANY feed fish from the pet stores. Very nasty paracits and such!

is your tank cycled?? I had a major problem with my wolf fish for not eating for 2 weeks. If you have it cylcled and there are no signs of disease, it all fine. The babies just might be stressed out of their new home. They can survive for around a week or so with food. a healthy fish's will always give on it's stubborness when it's hungry.
