Bummble Bee catfish

[nobody]

I need information on bumble bee catfish so that I can know whether or not to keep one in my tank. If anyone can give me some info I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

this should help you

Yes I would say that is a definite no. Well not if you don't care about the rest of your fish.

You should also google those sharks, as even if you got a 125 it wouldn't be large enough for them.

I second Pure.

bb cats are agressive and there hiders so you wont even see it feck all.............hardly worth it.

well there are 2 kinds of bumble bee cats the smaller asian one and the larger agressive ones, i had the asian one in my 55 g and his max size would have been around 6 inches or so, very cool fish to watch when you do get to see them they are VERY nocturnal and will only come out for short periods of time, and he loved algea wafers, he would go and steal them from my plecos lol! he also loved tubifex worms they will eat smaller fish but to be honest i doubt he would venture that far out of his hiding place just to catch a tetra. i will deffinitly be getting another on someday.

I have one of the smaller variety also, and he's got a LONg way to go before he can eat any of my other fish. They are too colorful to not have in my opinion. And if it ever does get a bit too big or I start having MIA cases, I can always put him in with my synodontis euruptus.

Well, I had one that was about 6 inches. I had him in a 55 with guppies and some zebra danios. he ate all 5 guppies and about 12 zebra danios in about 5 days. So, don't say they won't eat fish. they will get big and will eat anything they can fit into their mouth.

Well, as I have said (and as it says in my sig) I hope to have a larger tank one day. I don't think I'll get ballahs anymore though. Thanks for the info guys.

hope isnt what you need a larger tank IS what you need, if you cant be sure that your gonna get a larger tank, you need to think about taking some fish back, and you have a HEX tank if i read correctly, which hex tanks suck for surface area, there better for fish that like to swim vertically like angels.

what kind of pleco you have. the most commonly sold pleco is , well, the "Common" pleco which can grow to 24 inches in length. LFS know this, but don't tell anyone.

And your rosy barb is gonna get lonely by himself.

good luck
