Holding something! Is he breathing more than usual.... trying to circulate water or being a bit secretive?

 

[varanio]

i know hes holding just playing a guessing game. channa dont need circulation they are air breathers.

 

[fishdance]

Mouthbrooders will circulate water in their buccal cavity (throat area) I am not talking about breathing per se although it could be mistaken for laboured breathing. Mouthbrooding behaviour is usually distinctive too. Fish stop eating in early stages and are often secretive and reclusive. Youve stated that you already know hes holding though so I will stop my explanations.

Now males hold the eggs? Mr. Mum here. At first glance, I thought to myself, he's holding eggs alright.

if you really want too know, try feeding him... if he don't eat, he's holding... usually mouth brooder's don't eat when they are holding for a few weeks...
