Bichir will readily eat prawns, white fish, frozen bloodworm. Some will eat Cichlid pellets.
Featherfin Syno will eat most pellets etc, plus frozen bloodworm, brine shrimp, and plenty of veg - shelled peas, cucumber , courgette African Butterflyfish - bloodworm, brineshrimp, prawns, small mealworms, live insects such as flies etc Climbing Perch - earthworms, mussels, prawns, may take pellets. |

Limit the amount of prawns they get though, not good for fish long term in moderate amounts
