Well, I did some research awhile back and there are more then 2 bumble bee cats. 1SA gets to about 4 ", another gets to 8-9". The one that gets 8-9" is Pseudopimelodus bufonius. There are four species of the African bumblebee cat: Microsynodontis batesii, M. christyi, M. lamberti and M. polli, M. christyi, all of varying sizes. The asian is Pseudomystus siamensis or simply put the Siamese Bumblebee cat fish, which get to about 6" The first SA I mention usually attains only about 2" and is Microglanis iheringi. The one pictured earlier is the Bumblebee Jelly cat, or Pseudopimelodus bufonius.
