    Noticed some strange behaviours on my male channoides, hope someone can help.

    1. My male channoides seems to have problem swallowing the bloodworm, everytime i see it chewing the worms vigorously and spit it out.

    2. It's tail fin clamp together always. ( I think only recently )

    Compared to the female, the male is really skinnier and smaller. Now the situation has reversed and it's the female that chased after the male.

    Ok. At least now i know it's not abnormal. thanks. Will hatch some bbs and see whether he will eat it.

    I have put in a small mirror, hoping to raise some competitive mood for the male. Instead, the female hover near the mirror, admiring herself ? , display her full fin and also stop the male from going near the mirror.

    Bro I had the same problem with my 1st batch so what I did was to have them separated in its own individual tank and keep them there until they are ok and feeding well. And then reintroduce them together again.
    If I have a dollar & you have a dollar & we swap, neither is better off. BUT if I have an idea & you have an idea & we swap we are both richer

    thanks bro, that's what i'm doing right now. The female was too greedy and horny, will pump up the male before letting them meet.
