Senegal Bichir feeding questions.

I assume it’s not a true eel but bichir. Would try a sinking pellet. Ur cichlids and bichir can eat same pellets. Flakes and bloodworms are a good temporary food.
first off hes not an eel. second while he might eat those they are far from ideal. cut up tilapia, earthworms along with a quality pellet should be the main diet.
Unfortunately if they told you that the flake food and bloodworms were good for them that's not correct. Most Polypterus members feed a pellet food such as Massivore and small peices of fish preferably Tilapia. Tbh some LFS don't have a clue what is the right diet for them.
I personally feed my Senegal pellet, Freeze dried plankton, and Tilapia. Bloodworms should be offered as a treat.
a better pic would be nice. it looks like a Delhezi with those stripes on the tail.
