:nilly: i have endlicheri bichir but its small size (5 cm ) but i want to know what kind of food endlicheri bichir eat?
 
The idea is to vary the food menu.;) As bichirs are mainly predatory, you know what food they should be fed like every other monster fish. Shrimps, pellets, bloodworms, feeder fish and anything meaty are taken quite enthusiastically.
 
5 cm! I envy you. I want something that small. My senegalus was a little larger than that when I got him - 6 cm. You can get him started on omega one sinking shrimp pellets. If you're bare bottom, I'd snap pellets in half before dropping them in. If you have gravel (like me) just drop them in whole. The pellets soften a bit and the small bichir should have no problem biting chunks off.
 
Saw it its a P.ornatipinnis not and endlicheri as for feeding see above
