They live in fresh water habitats.[1] Like it primarily occurs in slow flowing small streams in swampy areas, but it can be found in fast flowing ones as well.[2] B. compuncta were found in the Kalimantan part of Borneo in Indonesia.[3]
They reproduce sexually.[1] They are also paternal mouthbrooders with the males incubating for about 12 to 18 days. Incubation time can vary with water temperature.
Males tend to have broader heads than females. The females ovaries can be seen under spotlight.[4]
