You can form a trio if your tank is not too small. My ratio is 3 males to 2 females in a 1.5ft tank with 3 logs of java fern. No fighting and they still spawned. If space permits, put more logs of java ferns. They do not like ceramic pots unlike Apistogrammas. My wild B. channoides never use the pots but rather like to stay under the foliage of the java ferns even when breeding.
You can PM, squee, he letting go a male wild B. channoides.
