Any one got any?

If so how fast do they grow?
Sat here fuming,I went to buy cat fish today ,they only had bumble bee ones I was assured they were peaceful,but I just found this online...

A seclusive predator that may consume fish up to 3" (8 cm) in length. This nocturnal species may disappear for long periods. Can be kept singly or in groups.


Bloody brilliant :no:
 
Depends which bumbel bee catfish it is!! Stay well clear of the asian bumblebee as it grows big and nasty what you want is Microglanis iheringi which i beleive is form south america!! I have three of htese fish and they are lovely. they are all about 3 inches long though i beleive they can grow bigger but not much!! They eat anything that floats past their mouths and you will never see them as they hide all day and come out at night and are very peaceful mine have lived perfectly fine with khuli loaches for some reason!!
Here are some links!!

Thanx aloaring, I'll take a look at those sites,my fish are only about an inch long and if they are nocturnal I guess I'll never see them again :rolleyes:
 
Yeah,we have no set up moonlight spotlights and you can see them come out but no again you'll see they're ugly little faces coming out of some tiny hole. they are great little fishies!! :wub: :wub: And mine have never eaten antoher fish as far as i know
 
If they are only small there more likely to be Microglanis iheringi the South American bumblebee catfish. There are some other fish that are far worse that go under the same common name though. I have some SA Bumblebee Catfish, I only see them every few months though. :/
