I had a roommate move out and leave me some cod fillets(frozen and individually wrapped). I don't eat fish but my bichirs get tilapia every other day is it ok to mix the cod in with it?
 
Cod is an oceanic fish so maybe a bit oily. Feed as a snack just IMO.
 
I mixed a cod fillet with a tilapia fillet in my food processor and they took to it like crack. I've never seen them go this crazy for a food. The only problem is it likes to float and break apart. Also I've noticed some of the poop in the tank is white other than color the poop looks normal is this something I should worry about? The tank has bichirs, fire eels, plecos, knifefish, mollies, and guppies

You had your fish for awhile haven't you? If so I wouldn't worry about it especially if they are still eating and looking healthy.
 
Yeah most fish I've had for quite awhile the newest fish is atleast a month old. I was thinking it might be the mollies or guppies because I've read their poop tends to be the same color as what they eat because of poor digestion
