Making Bichir Food??

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
ok I figured this thread would be a good place to add this.

I have severe nerve damage in both arms and legs therefore I can't actually use scissors or a knife very well and I've had to get my roommates chop up the earthworms and tilapia and while they will do it they aren't happy about(especially the live earthworm) plus they don't make the pieces small enough for my little guys. My albino swam around with a piece of tilapia in his mouth for an hour because he didn't want to admit it was to big for him. What I was thinking of doing is buying a cheap food processor to chop it but not being much of a cook I don't know if it will work what d you guys think? any other ideas

It may work give it a try better than having someone doing something that they are not comfortable with.

Actually the food processor will work some will even chop up ice. My main concern is how will you bind the food together or will it just be poured into the aquarium. I guess a short blend would chop the tilapia and earthworm just right.
 
thats what I was thinking I had also read somewhere to cube the meat 1st then freeze it before putting it in the food processor but am unsure about that.

I personally would try both methods and see what you like best. Just looked at my wife's blender and it has multiple speeds on it . I am going to blame you because I will try tilapia and see how I like it versus chopping by hand lol.
