I have a 9 inch Polypterus delhezi and i have had him for 2 weeks or so and i have yet to see him eat. I put some freeze dried shrimp in every night and some sinking shrimp pellets in every night before bed. They are gone in the morning but i also have some synodontis cats and a firemouth that may be eating the food. Should i be worried? he comes out after the lights go out and swims around but like i said i havent seen him eat. any help is appritiated. Im new to large fish.
 
Cool. I will give them a try. Any other advise on keeping these crazy awesome fish. LONG LIVE MFK!
 
If you want to see your bichir more often, don't spoil it by feeding at night. Feed it during the day and use the foods recommended by James and JML, and you'll have an active bichir that you actually get to see :)
