Details

South American Bumblebee Catfish (Microglanis sp.) are attractive bottom dwelling cats. They are named for their broad light and dark bands. They should not be mistaken for the Asian Bumblebee Catfish (Pseudomystus siamensis) which grows much larger.

 

These cats are non-aggressive and do well with other fish, including other cats, as long as they are not too tiny and able to be swallowed. They are not fussy eaters and will enjoy small meaty foods that sink to the bottom for them to scoop up. The tank should be furnished with rocks or wood and other dim areas for the fish to hide in.

These guys hide all day but are very fun to "spot" when they feed. Our oldest is seven years old. Tank must be kept in very good shape. We lost a couple early on until we learned about keeping a pristine, neutral tank. Newbies should avoid them.

First time tank owner, and this was the first fish in the tank. I've had this fish since the end of May and have had great luck with him. Only time I see him is at feeding or 4:30am. Sometimes I think he's lost or gone, but in a few days he shows up. As a first time fish owner, I've found this fish to be very easy.

<b>TFP: Hi Bee!
Livestock orders are packed and shipped separately and cannot be shipped with dry goods. We make every effort to make transit comfortable and safe for livestock. We review the temperature and destination for every order, and pack the livestock accordingly. Fish and invertebrates are triple-bagged and packed with heat packs or ice packs (as needed) in insulated Styrofoam containers and cardboard shipping boxes. Plants are carefully wrapped in wet paper and plastic then shipped in standard FedEx shipping boxes (with heat packs or ice packs as needed).
*Heat packs are usually taped to the lid or side of the box. These packets should be discarded after delivery; do not add these packets or their contents to your aquarium.
We always attach a copy of your invoice/packing list inside the box.

Okay first off, I bought this fish to be a bottom feeder and assumed it would be reminiscent of a corydora or a pictus. My bad on my part I suppose, because I researched after I bought this fish. He ATE my betta. He never comes out of his hole for any reason other than to snatch food and dissapear again. Thats pretty much it. I like him when I see him, and when he's not eating my betta.
