ok well i bought some boneless pork chops 2 lbs when i bought to eat, they were on sale because the next was the next day was the expire date. they sat in my fridge for 4 days my wife deosnt know wether or not to eat them. i was planing on cuting them into small chunks and remove the fat so i figured id post this. to see if my bichir's can have them, instead of throwing them out? bichir experts?
 
what about a really tiny piece here and there?
 
As an occasional treat, it shouldn't hurt, but like superleggera123 said, it is difficult for them to digest. If you're going to feed it to them, it needs to be supplemented by a much larger portion of food that is easier for them to digest.
 
got you so maybe every 3 weeks i can give them a little piece. just to add a little option to there diet
 
Earthworms are a heck of a lot better for them, but that often should not hurt them.
 
Try to higher up the temp and when you do feed them with pork meat skip meal before feeding the meat. Also it must not be their main diet. Just occasional treats. I do feed mine sometimes with chicken, beef or pork meat what ever it's in the fridge. But I only do this for emergency purposes as sometimes I'm busy working and school that I sometimes forget to buy some food for my fish. So I just check the fridge for other meaty food for my fish. Once I feed them the meat I starve them for 3 days.
