all my bichirs eat feeders, I dont give them pellets couse I hate them and so my bichirs, (they are ornates, sens, albinos, longfins, and endlis), many would disagree with this, but no matter what my bichirs still live and grow well till now, and its been 3 years since I start having them in my tank. I have bare bottom tank, and its easier to clean the poo out of the tank; basically everything is kept simple, no light after dawn, and no hiding spot whatsoever; my ornates wont eat anything at first I got them, then they ate at night, but now, no matter days or night they still eat, yet in fornt of me
cheers
