Before I stopped keeping bichirs about 1-2 yrs ago and restarted recently, my endi swallowed my ornate Another endi of mine swallowed and choked on a fire eel of the same length as itself

I have another problem the small feeder guppies died overnight . Stuck to the filter . All died from bites from the small bichir no idea what to feed other then sinking pellets .

How do you feed the frogs ? Won't they just jump out or stick onto the higher walls of the tank ?
