Floating Porkchop

What have you been feeding Porkchop? I'm assuming that's his name.
His name is Bahamut, he just resembles a porkchop haha. I switch it up between tilapia (his favorite), blood worms, brine shrimp, beef heart (which he really doesn't like too much), and earth worms. All frozen except the earth worms. Those he will catch and let wriggle before he eats them O.O I just have 4 bichirs in the tank and I try to feed them all evenly, but he is surprisingly sneaky for his size.
Beef heart isn't a good staple food but it is good and commonly used for making fish grow much faster.
I've only tried feeding him beefheart twice. He gulps everything else down, but that one he turns his nose up at. He only ate a little before ignoring it. Glad to know it isn't the best for him so I can stop trying haha
Looks like he needs to go on a diet for his health, obese fish can develop health problems, this tends to happen to the fish that are most food aggressive
Okay. I will be more careful. I feel like I need to separate him from the others during feeding time
