Feeding
Live foods : guppies , rosey red minnows, ghost shrimp, earthworms
frozen: bloodworms, mysis shrimp,brine shrimp , krill, squid and frozen silversides
a good quality pellet, lean meaty foods such as beefheart are good too
but you need to balance their diet for nutrition so vary the diet, not just one
thing.How much to feed them ? Feed them until their belly bows slightly.
and skipping a meal will not hurt them once they are
past 7-8 inches remember in the wild food is not
always available.A nice round bichir is a happy bichir

not wanting to derail this thread, but how much do the polypterus go for? im just asking because i went to one of the FS in melbourne and i asked how much the polys were, not sure on what species, but a 6 incher would cost me $1000 AUD and 8 inchers are selling for $1500 AUD!

Ouch!!! My local in Brisbane can get me ornates for bout $350. I was expecting around that price but $1000!!! Damn.
