When my delhezi, and sen were both small they got blood worms, they love em. Basically anything small and meaty or pellets are good. When there full they will have the small bulge in there belly.
When my Bichirs were that size. I fed them live foods, Blood/Tubifex Worms and Brine Shrimp. Once they got a little bigger I started them on Hikari Carnivore Pellets. My Bichirs aren't picky at all though.
frozen bloodworms, high qulaity flake foods, pellets( though be very careful, they tend to bloat on these pretty easy.), and as they get bigger my Sens love nightcrawlers chopped up. really got them growing and bulked up nicely too. But they won't turn down any meaty food.
my baby endlis have a diet of chopped market shrimp, silver sides, and live black worms. i find senegals to pretty slow growers. if you do twice a day feedings, your sen should grow a bit faster.
Water changes can make a big difference too. Feed'em good, do twice weekly water changes and watch'em GROW.
