got two albino bichirs... they are about 4 inches.... my tank is 3ft*1.5ft... i have only those two fishes ryt now... my tank luks kinda empty... are there any fish that i culd add to my tank?? and what is the best food to feed my bichirs? the store told me to feed chicken, a small piece each...
 
Personally I wouldn't feed non aquatic meats, they seem to foul the water. You could feed shrimp, cichlid fillets, home bred guppies etc. Try to avoid store bought feeders. Ideally you should try to get them eating a good prepared pellet like Hikari Massivore. In time they will even adapt to eating floating pellets.
As for tank mates, something bigger than they can eat is a must. I have had good luck with angel fish and rainbow fish.

I agree that aquatic foods are probably best with the exception of beef heart. People swear by it and they even sell it in frozen cubes
