    Shrimp/tilapia is the staple, i'll toss a couple convicts in every week and the bichirs get them sometimes other fish other times, just too keep them in that hunting mode so they don’t get fat and lazy lol

    I also feed a variety of floating pellets for the aro and oscar and the bichirs also swim up to eat that as well from time to time...

    Shrimp staple. feeders, whatever fish I feel like giving them. Trying to get them on massivores but I don't like them because they're no fun to watch eat.

    It actually ate your pleco? That's awesome.
