I am weaning my bichirs to tilapia from silversides. I picked up a big bag of frozen boneless tilapia filets. The only ingredient is tilapia..Sounds safe to me but im a cautious person.. They safe to feed ??

Thanks man!

I also appreciate you now clowning on me for such a silly question but anything I question I have to run by MFK :) Smelt is a good idea bet the bichirs would love the scent.

not clowning on you at all! That's how I feed my fish.
It's based off of what's on sale. It forces variety.

Yup! I only feed my bichirs Silversides , krill , occasional fresh filet tilapia and massivore. I am gonna switch to tilapia 75% of the time and insects / massivore the other days :)
