What do your bichir eat?

I feed mine my special beef heart recipe. It has beef heart, shrimp, night crawlers, bloodworms, garlic, spinach, spirulina, wheat germ, paprika, vitamin b12, and a few other attractants. My bichirs and spiny eels love it and they get big on it!

I think it might be easier to list things they won't eat. Mine have gone after everything I've given them: brine shrimp, blood worms, tilapia, shrimp, beef heart, night crawlers, various types of sinking pellets, any live fish they can fit in their mouth.
 
Iv personally found chicken liver to be loved!!!!!!!! By most poly ..... Without being sai I do not recommend it at all lol ..... It will destroy ur tank water ... Within 5 min u won't be able to see through the water at all.... Iv fed it as a very rare treat maybe 5 times in 5 years lol and always right b4 I water change

Mine almost eat everything - except meat. I don't feed it (prefer, eating it by myself ;) ).
I feed salmon, european smelt, applesnails, sardine, shrimps, crickets, spiders, woodlouses, earthworms - anything I can find around our flat (or in it). My ctenopomas sometimes get pellets and when they don´t eat everything the polys are cleaning up. But I don't accelerate this, I prefer feeding fresh or frozen food.
