Cat ID

[Big-Dawg]

Hey can someone please ID this cat for me. And give me a scientific name for it so I can look up on it. I know it's a bumble bee cat but are there different types.

Usually $30-$40 from what I've seen.

Oh ok cool. I'll be paying a fraction of that for a 5-6 incher. Thanks for the help!

ya deff a bufonius, one thing to know befor you get one is that they can be very aggressive to any and all fish in your tank no matter the size for mine the best thing I have found to keep him cool is feed him like crazy hers a pic of my 10in one

Whoa sweet pic man! Also totaly digging your avatar aswell. I actually planned to keep it with my dovii in my 120. In your experience how do you think it will fare? I was more concerned for it and not the tank mate. So I'm going to have lots of pots and what not. Do you think it will work? My dovii is a female roughly 10 inches.

mine has staked out his part of the tank under a big piece of driftwood and defends it against everyone in the tank the only other fish I have are in my sig with him as you can see they are alot bigger then him,I would think aslong as the dovii couldn't get him in his mouth it would be fine but I do not have exp with SA
