I had mine in a community tank for the first week or so but that was because i was sure that he wasn’t guna spit em out for another week, he doesnt eat though so if you have a tank spare, might be worth putting him into his own little tank without food for length of ‘gestation’. i started feeding them on algae i cultured on the windowsill as soon as i noticed the fry in the breeder (used the algae and copepods in it as they were less likely to foul the tank if the fry weren’t interested in food). I also noticed that they were very slow growing fish but it may be different with B. channoides? hope that helps?
o and also, he typically held about 15 eggs and he was about an inch long. I’m guessing that you didn’t see the mating ritual?
