Hello all, I have an ornate bichir, aroung 5-6 inches. Until now I've only fed it bloodworms, but i wish to improve their diet, and I am wondering if high quality sinking pellets are something they would eat, or if they only eat frozen or live food. My problem is that I don't know if its large enough to eat any regular shrimp I can buy, it's mouth simply isnt big enough yet. Any help would be appreciated.
Food for a small bichir.

Cut up your seafood, or hikari sinking pellets
I have an ornate about the same size (6") and that's what i do
My personal food of choice is Hikari Massivore Delite. I'm pretty sure at its size it can eat it whole, I have a 4in long Delhezi that eats that pellet whole, but if you need to you can break it in half, the Bichir should be large enough to eat that.
