Good staple pellet for bichirs?

[CichlidAddict]

What is a good staple pellet to feed my bichirs?

I've heard Hikari sinking carnivore pellets are good, but they're expensive! $50 for 2.2 lbs.

Is there an alternative that's just as good but cheaper?

I was ordering from kensfish and was thinking maybe his PREMIUM SINKING PELLETS WITH BRINE SHRIMP might be good, but I figured I'd ask what you guys use first.

I would be feeding other things such as shrimp, bloodworms and earthworms in addition to the pellets.

I've used kensfish brine shrimp pellets and my bichirs liked them and I used them as staple until I ran out. I've also used the premium slow sinking growth pellets for the smaller bichirs and I got some good growth results from it. They're a little bit too small for larger bichirs though so now I use it to feed my clown loaches and my clowns have grown a lot since then. Another good pellet is new life spectrum. You can order those at kensfish also.

i agree with the omega one. i've been using that for awhile now.

I use sinking JMC carnivore pellets. They work well as a staple and are readily accepted.

I treat with earthworms.
They also get frozen brineshrimp and bloodworm, sometimes live bloodworm.

Omega One shrimp is good, so is NLS.

Is there big pellets that NLS carry?
