i say $10 is a fair price, dont know how big they get tho, gl.

I belive they t about 6-8" but don't quote me on this.

Yes, the common or "false" bumble bee catfish get a total length of about 5.9"


However if you get a Pseudopimelodus bufonius or "Giant Bumblebee Catfish" They grow to a maximum of 9.6" TL.


Hope this helps.

if it is a giant bumblebee watch out what you keep with it as they are known to be very aggressive and will destroy tankmates. havent had that problem with my mini version, will eat any tankmates that can fit in its mouth like about any pim. cat, but doesnt have the nasty temper of the giant

Dont believe all you read seen P bufonius up to about 16" rare to see em that big but they can achieve this

Ive got a bumblebee cat, its not a pseudopimelodus bufonius but its about 8" long. I'm pretty sure its a pseudomystus siamensis even though they supposedly only reach 6".

i had one for a while, and i would not only get one, as they like to stay in schools. I'd say 5 would be a better bet with these guys.

i got mine for like 5 bucks each

many sp. called "bumblebee" cats- too many so you need to be sure of the sp.

some stay very tiny while others can grow big.
