what do you feed your bichirs, these days?

My bichirs eat NLS Thera+A in the mornings and in the evenings they have either swai or tilapia. On occasion they get to fight over smelt. If I could find cheap basa fillets then I would use it in my fillet rotation.
And dang Hao, aren't those small frogs expensive to feed to your monster bichirs?

You know Hao, your fish eat better than most people
but then again I think most of the fish in MFK eat better than their owners.
Usually the problem with "monster" fish is to get them started on pellets and prepared dry food. I have not been able to convert my Silver Aro and any of the 4 Gars onto pellets. They only eat sea-food (shrimp, jumbo krill, etc etc).
I got my 8-9 inch Endli a couple of days ago and was a bit anxious about his diet. He would not accept fresh shrimps or fresh Jumbo krill.
When he finally started eating, I was surprised at his choice of food: Hikari Cichlid Gold
Now, I may have a problem with a Monster-fish because he only eats pellets and nothing really high-protein like seafood :S

never tried Tilapia or crickets but mine eats krill,shrimp, occasionally rosey, beef hearts and bloodworms
My baby ziggy (senegal bichir) is only 3 1/2" and he lovesssssss beef heart & hikari carnivorous pellets. I haven't given him bloodworms or brine shrimp yet. Frozen of course. But he'll get some this friday since it's bloodworm friday, lol. I try to change up what I feed him and my other fish so they don't get stuck on one food since I have a variety to offer them.
i feed my a special blend
-beef heart
-shrimp
-spirituluna powder
-bloodworms
-tilapia
-multi vitamins
-amino acid supplement
-fresh garlic
-capsasin
grind it all separate and combine together. fish love it
