Also, is a steady diet of earthworms and baby guppies good enough for the bichir?
Thanks!
I wouldn't stick with just the guppies and earthworms though. They (or at least mine did) will eat most things, a good carnivore pellet would be great. Are you gut loading the guppies and breeding them yourself?
odettebottier, thank you for the kind words.
I have 2 senegal bichirs. One's almost 7 inches, the other is about five inches. Both are getting bigger and bigger everyday!
Now that I have many different types of foods (algae pellets, Koi pellets(I cut these in half), ground earthworm pellets, and freeze dried blood worms), the Bichirs leave the guppies alone.
I guess they prefer food that doesn't swim away.
Now that I'll have to bred my own food (guppies and maybe ghost shrimps), I have to get another, smaller tank. HURRAY!
I love this site, so many awesome people with awesome fish advice!
