I Have And Ornate Bichir Hes About 7 Inches And Wanted To Know About How Much To Feed Him, Usually I Started Out With Puting About 10 Feeders In There Every Wed Or Thursday When The Lfs Gets Them In And He Eats About 3-4 When I Put Them In And The Rest Throughout The Week. But Hes Always Eating Beef Heart That The Yellowlabs Eat And Also Ate A Tiger Barb, And Two Bigger Goldfish, So If Anyone Has An Idea About How Much To Feed Him Or How Often Let Me Know

I'd recommend switching over to shrimp (available from your nearest grocery store), frozen fish, and prepared pellets to use as food.
I'm making this recommendation as someone who has gotten burned in the past by using live feeders, and I practiced quarantine for a minumum of 4 weeks prior to introduction to the main tank. You're playing with fire by bringing fish directly home from the petstore for use as food.

What Kinda Shrimp You Recomend I Get And He Doesnt Try To Eat Anything Thats Dead The Cory He Killed He Didnt Try To Eat Anymore, He Does Like The Beef Heart Though .
He just has to learn its food. Bichirs are known garbage disposals, eating almost anything you throw in there.
I'd seriously try to wean off live foods. Like R said above, raw fish, prawn, and pellets are a good diet. I also feed squid and large earthworms.
