My senegal would leave kribensis fry in the tank. I could almost guarantee he wouldn't eat a guppy.
Def mix it up though. Some frozen prawns, beef heart, whitebait, carni pellets etc will be well received by a very happy bichir.

avoid the prawn definitely..... live shrimp is the go... and mine definitely eat guppies when they sleep to close to the bottom at night
but after a while a group of guppies get savvy and work it out and stay away from the bottom at night

defrost whitebait first - works better that way and sinks

Should sink, I have the problem where I want it to float for my saratoga but it sinks.
If its quite old white bait that's kind of freeze dried looking, that maybe why it floats.

gday david, the whitebait realy does sound like its freezer burnt.when i kept barra or im going fishing i buy 1 kilo frozen blocks from super iga. 14 bucks and its human consumption quality.bang it on the paving and shatter of what you need. better quality and cheaper than buying it as bait. might be more than you need though.
