Pellets for Senegal bichir?

[BichirAddict]

What type of sinking pellets should I use for my senegal bichir. Are hikari sinking carnivore pellets okay or something these.

The hikari pellets should be great albeit you may have to break them up a bit depending on the size of your senegal.

I feed mine spirulina discs and shrimp pellets.

I've found that Senegals will eat almost anything they find on the bottom when they're small. Flakes, bloodworms, pellets whatever.
And you would be surprised at the size food they can eat even when they're tiny. My albino senegal was a 2" little worm when I got her and she immediately ate 3 Rosie red minnows when I put her in the tank.
She looked like a bag of marbles...

Yeah they pretty much eat anything

Thanks she is 4" so do I still have to break them up or not and will the peacock eel I have eat them also.

Have a elipsifer eel with my senegals and they both eat the Hikari pellets. Some eels dont seem to take to pellets readily though. Just gotta try.

She'll probably eat them just fine. Your spiny eel probably won't eat pellets right away. They love bloodworms and you might eventually train her to pellets.
