I think before worrying about feeding habits, what you need to do is make him a home.
A bare bottom is never going to make a channa at ease, which can and will eventually kill your channa.

Stress is a big factor in these fishes, and you may be experiencing just one of the effects it has on them. It will eat whatever it needs to survive, and that's going to be it.

Plant his tank, make him feel secure, and he will eat whatever you throw in the tank the second it hits water.

Also, do make sure you're not keeping him in tropical temps year around, that could cause the same symptoms. ;)

+1, if kept properly they will eat anything offered.

The tank should not be heated, needs substrate, lots of decor(wood, rocks, plants etc. To create hiding places & floating plants .
