Bichir: feeding/growing relationship

[channarox]

just buy some foods that sink.
like whitebait,shrimp,sinking pellets etc.
normally sens growth become very slow once they hit around 9 inches.

i think the only way is to get some suersized pellets so less will be eaten so quickly

You could get a thin piece of pvc, stick it to the bottom, and drop the pellets for the senegal through that. Then the other fish can't get them until they reach the bottom.

cichlid and large fish formula!

Pre-soak the pellets in tank water with a drop or two of vitamins that way they sink right away and are soft for the bichir to eat. Or you can hand feed. Mine willingly eat from my hand. Heck, my big one will let me pet him and swim through my fingers if I make an "O". Pretty cool little guy.
