yes, they feed on it. but find the pellet small.. so need to feed more.

my endy keep eating it non-stop!! but if it's pure wheat, maybe u need to give additional protein for your carnivores.. maybe some meat to supplement

Currently my bichirs are on massivore, carnivore, algae wafer and mp as staple diets. Will add wheat germs into their diets as well.

if bottom very hard to change, just add quartz sand.. i feel bichirs look best in quartz sand.. be it black or red they can live quite a long time, red from MFK up to 20years !

Thanks a lot bro, but If have time I will change to black oyama or swop tank haha cannot afford to have substrate

Don't mind me bro but I heard from bros who keep goldfish saying that wheatgerm should not be fed in the long run. Something to do with the digestive system. Terribly sorry if I remembered wrongly. Btw, shouldn't bichirs be fed on a largely meat diet since they are carnivorous? I used to feed mine Hikari like what bro desmondpeh is doing

It looks very robust bro. I wont say its semi short yet unless it really stops growing any longer after keeping for a certain period of time.

Hi bro, I think mixture of pellets and raw meat diets like MP/fillet will be better in the long run.
