Batrochoglanis raninus "black bumble bee" bumble bee jelly catfish"
does anyone have experience/ pictures to show? im interested in them but very little info is availible. looking for someone with experience keeping these
 
I kept one for many years. They tend to stay on the small side, reaching maybe 8 or 9". They are very nocturnal and you don't see them sometimes for weeks at a time as they don't like light and prefer to hide in dark places like under driftwood which they really prefer. As with other batrochoglanis species they are ambush predators and prefer live fish for food but smaller specimens will eat live black worms or earthworms if I recall. Not sure if they will eat pellets and such but might if given no other choice but I never tried so maybe others have better info on that subject...

Here's a pic of my fish from the past..
