How can I make my bichirs fatter?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I would say they look pretty healthy. I like to follow the rule of half full stomach = long life. Fat animals of any type will have a shorter life.
 
They look fine to me, when they get bigger they will gain more girth, mine love tilapia and massivore. My greediest endli has gone from 10-14 inches in about 4 months
 
your bichir looks just fine. you could try feeding him mollys to fatten him up. just careful I had one choke one time on a fish that was too big for him.
 
If you want your bichirs to look fat then just keep feeding and feeding, simple as that. Plenty of sea foods in the fish market. Also bloodworms is not the best way to fatten up bichirs. Your bichirs looks fine and better shape. Just to let you know that fat bichirs dies early, than bichirs with the girth just a little thicker than the girth of it's neck. Keep your bichirs sexy and healthy, not fat.

So you're trying to kill them on purpose? Perhaps animals are not the best hobby for you.

Who me? I dont plan to make them unhealthy. By means of fat, strong and healthy. I just felt that my bichir arent that strong compared to the other bichir that I saw with same size of my bichir. Dude, i want to make it healthy thats why I never feed it feeders.
 
If thats the case, i will believe my bichir is healthy. Thanks for the help and diet everyone
 
Yup, I tried feeding market shrimp and it turned well. I did a plan, I placed my ornate on the upper tank because his tank mates are too aggressive, day by day I can see him grow. Is this plan good?
