i have an aquarium containing two bichirs, and one knifefish, as well as a cory. My question is i feed my fish Wardley Shrimp Pellets. The pellets sink to the bottom and swell, and even sort of crumble. I havnt seen any of the fish eat except for the cory. I know that they are all nocturnal fih and i even set up a cam to spy on them. I have seen the bichirs nibble on the pellets, but the knife wont touch them, he swims by them and acts as if they wernt there. Does anyone have any ideas on what i should do? I was thinking about droping a piece of meat in the tank and let him nobble off of it. or buying krill and hopin that if the krill doesnt crumble maybe he will eat it then.
any info would really help, i want them to eat before they starve, if i went 5 days without eating, i know i would go nuts.

thankyou

I use too own the exact same fish as you. I know that frozen blood worms work and frozen brine shrimp works well also. -- hope that helps

Ya, black worms or blood worms are what is recomended as food for these type of fish.

hth

What was the point of that?


Anyway, these fish need live foods. Worms, brine shrimp, and even small feeder guppies will be greatly appreciated. They will also most likely accept chopped up earthworms as well.
