Can I feed bichirs frozen Silver sides? Just wanted to give my bichirs a more various diet.

Diet atm:
Hikari Sinking Carnivore Pellets
Frozen Blood Worms
Frozen Beefheart
Shrimp
Quarantined Goldfish and Ghost Shrimp
 
Yeah, you can feed them silversides. I would recommend tilapia fillet, my bichirs go crazy for it. :)
 
Everything you have listed is good except for goldfish, not very healthy even if Q'ed. I feed mine silversides on a regular basis. My Palmas Polli and Ansorgii refuse to eat the carnivor pellets which are very healthy for them, so I cut a small slit in the belly of a silver side and put 2 or 3 pellets in inside and they eat it right up.
 
I wont do goldfish, some other feeder like mollies perharps
 
Alright thanks everyone I'll cut back on the goldfish and test out silversides!

I do the same but with mucsles and put massivore in, works great. I use Tongs so I can make sure he eats as well.
