There are a couple of catfish called "Bumble Bee." Which one are you refering to, Asian or South American?
Pseudopimelodus zungaro? Biggest I have seen would have to be around 8" or so. They are highly predatory and will accept a wide variety of food. They have very large mouths for there size and will suprise you with what they can gulp down.
I once had a 2-3" "bumblebee" cat for a short time, did not do my research and don't even remember the genus, the first night he was in a 55g community tank it ate a 1/2 dozen serbae tetras. I traded it the next day for a couple panda corys.
we have two right now, originally they were in with some guppies, the guppies had babies, the babies started disappearing, so we tranfered them with some blindcave tetras. they aren't that big right now, maybe3-4". Their cool fish that's for sure...
