I found some at the Hawaiian Market off of Valley in Monterey Park/San Gabriel. A pack (don't remember the weight) was like $2.50 I picked up 5 packs and it lasted me about 2 months. I actually need to go get some more...LEAVE ME SOME!!!

Don't remember the label too much. I think it was in Vietnamese and it was in a clear plastic bag in a styrofoam tray.
This is how I feed my bichirs and other monsters.
Pellets 2x a day 4x a week and frozen foods 1x a day 2x a week. Live food 1x every 2 weeks.. I also skip meal for 1-2 day after they eaten the frozen/live food. Give them time to digest. Plus you won't waste any pellets because they are sometimes ignored if they have eaten some frozen/live food from the other day.

one of my ornates only eats shrimp pellets about to starve her off of them here in a bit.
my smaller ornate in a seperate tank i got at 2.5" only ate and i highlly recommend this HBH SUPER SOFT krill sinking pellets. i swear i think they invented it just for baby birchirs. i bought 1- 3.3oz shaker and it lasted him till he was 6" with feeding him that and bloodworms. now he also loves market shrimp. i throw it in when the lights go out.

pellets (i think we've already established that)
mine love HBH soft (i feed this when they're small) and NLS Thera (3mm is a good size as it's fairly easy to find and big enough for smaller polys). The bigger ones get sinking carnivore/massivore, sinking gold (Hikari) and 6mm NLS Thera
