ive had him for over 11 yrs now. how long do you think he will live. he is very nasty to other fish i am scared to get certain types. and really he is my fav.
 
Bumble bee cats are tough as hell. I thought mine died, because it had been bitten by the 13" royal knife I had and had a gash that was so deep I could almost see its spine. I put it in a different tank and it dissappeared for more than a month. The other day I lifted a piece of driftwood out of the tank and he squirmed out, fully healed as if nothing had ever happened.

Anyway where in NJ are you from?
 
Yeah, post some pics. I never saw one that old either.
 
Bumble Bee cats are crazy tough! Mine had its face torn off by my two xingu 1 pikes and it is still alive today! Although he now has a bit of a deformed face and I don't think his mouth closes all the way he is still alive. Oh yea how big is he. I have had mine close to a year and he is only like 3" maybe 4". I was under the impression that they got about 6"-8".

Yeah you should post a pic.
 
Is it an Asian Bumble Bee Catfish or South American Bumble Bee Catfish?
