I wanted a bicher and i went into petsmart, and i saw segenal bicher that was label somethin like dinosaur eel. well anyway i didnt do alot of research about them so thats my fault, but anyway what do i feed it? it is about 2" or so, and i dont know if he will live cause he has a red mark on his side so r these fish hardy?

They're pretty hardy. Clean water, of course, but they're not too picky about pH or hardness. When mine was 2-1/2 or 3", he ate 3mm pellets. They'll eat bloodworms, earthworms. If you try 3mm pellets, I'd recommend HBH SuperSoft first, they can break them up a bit. I tried it when I was trying to get my knife to eat pellets, it was the only prepared food he'd eat initially. Bichirs don't seem to be as picky, but the texture is right in case it's a little too big for him.
As already stated i fed my 3" ornate HBH super soft sinking krill pellets, he would scour the whole tank for hours looking for every last lil pellet. one small container should last you untill you can give him hardier foods. my senegal bichir i had loved freeze dried krill when i had him but i bought him at 6".
HE ate a cut up pellet that was very tiny. he is a great fish i did a water change and cleaned my filter. he was getting picked on so i moved some other fish out of that tank. he is AWSOME im glad i picked him up i like bichers now..
uh oh... i think we have another bichir creature keeper. try some of the other species as well. bichir tanks are awesome.

Well i used to think all bicher tanks would be a waste but after haveing 1 senegal bicher for almost a whole day i think it would be awsome. i think ill get alot more senegals if i get a big tank and try to breed them.
