Mix of mp and pellet. They will grow fat n nice.

For my birchirs, they are now on a pellet/mp diet. But once a week i will buy feeders to feed the whole tank. But usually by the time the birchirs know there is feeders, the rest of the tankmates would have finished them off.
What i notice when i first got the birchirs is that i used feeders to pump them up and also to condition them. They did grow faster when on live feeders compared to a fully mp diet.

My only bichir feed on pallets meant for my pseuda, fish meat meant for my ray and mp meant for my other fishes. Basically is help to clear left over which my other fishes cant finish lol.

Mine are fully on pellets and mp.

I haven't experimented enough to tell you definitely what food provides better growth rates and such but I choose to feed pellets and mp because it minimizes the risk of parasites.

That being said I do from time to time throw in feeders for them as I don't want them to forget how to hunt. Also its shiok to see.
