Do live goldfish work ?
It does work but the goldfish will need to be fed food soaked with vitachem.

At the same time bichirs will easily take pellets which have no risk of disease compared to live food.

Like mentioned above you’ll need to make those gold fish healthy before feeding them to bichirs, you’ll also need to quarantine them for 3-4 week making sure they not going to give your bichirs disease and parasite.
Also you’ll be spending more money buying a gold fish, feeding them and medicating them rather than just buying some pellets to feed the bichir.

Polyaddict86 Polyaddict86 and kno4te kno4te are right, but if you have a separate tank you could just raise your food in-house (I do) i use mollies, shrimp and pellets

My sens literally eat anything, including:
  • Pellets
  • Earthworms
  • Mealworms
  • Daphnia
  • Baby brine shrimp
  • Moth larvae
  • Dead tankmates
  • Hake & tilapia chunks
  • Flake
(I have even see them try to eat floating leaves, special children)
