Well I always worry about feeding a bgk in a community tank so how can I feed him with out the other fish eating his food
 
You can spot feed them. Some people have been able to hand feed them as well. Feed the other fish first and then place or using a pair of tongs, wave some food in front of the BGK's hiding spot.
 
Bgks have excellent sense of smell, if you're feeding bloodworm he'll zero in on it pretty quickly

I drop a good quality sinking pleco pellets at mines hide.
 
Mine spends all his time under the turtle dock. when I drop in minced tilapia and blood worms he comes out from under the dock and muscles the little turtles right out of the way.
It's funny to watch him steal from the turtles.
