I've never had a bichir that didn't eat pellets. Hikari Sinking Carnivore pellets are usually most relished, but they are spendy ($54 for 2.2 lbs). OSI makes some shrimp pellets that can be purchased for around $30 for 6 lbs. I've also fed Ken's sinking pellets with good results.

Mine really enjoy Ken's sinking earthworm sticks with plankton and spirulina. These don't break down as fast as the shrimp pellets. But, they are a little more $. They'll also eat commercial sinking catfish pellets that I get for $17 per 50lb bag at the local feed and seed center.

All of my bichirs eat Wardley's shrimp pellets. The break up into smaller pieces for juvie's as well. I have fed those since they were around 2.5" long.
