Anyone keeps Bumblebee/Zungaro cats?

[krichardson]

I have a chance to get one of these in a few weeks but I'm just wondering if any MFKers have any tips or experience with them.

I had one swallow a royal pleco 1/3 of his length. Impressive mouths.

I have 2 in my pond...about 7-8". They are the smallest inhabitants in my pond but do well since they tend to hide. Nice cats, big eaters, relatively peaceful as long as it doesnt fit in their mouth.

They cost a little more here and I've read that they reach eight inches in length.

I have one. I had him in a smaller tank, and then I put him in a 75g and haven't seen him since. I see his tail once in a while but he never comes out.

Probably gonna give him away.

I had the larger Pseudopimelodus species as well, now they eat everything...
