ID please- Asian bumblebee cat?

[necrocanis]

If i remember rightly Necro yours are Microglanis

Microglanis iheringi seems to be one of them, the other one looks a little different. They have already gone over their max size qouted on PC. Be interesting to see how big they will actually get. They are fat as all get out for a 3" fish.

So Pseudopimelodus bufonius can get to be 10"? This guy really likes to hide. He forced his way under a big rock in my tank that my crayfish was under, but it's not a very safe home for him. I need to find some sort of natural looking cave or driftwood that he can hide in.

Sweeeeeeet is that a wolf fish with him.

10" would seem to be the max according to pc. I've noticed my smaller bumblbees really love to hide as well too bad they don't really have anywhere to hide lol.

I've seen those for sale at a lfs from time to time. It's a Giant SA Bumble Bee Cat. But they don't really get "giant" 10"

Seen these come in about 15 years ago that were about 16" huge things never seen nothing like them since, seen a few over the 12" though.

Necro if you get chance get a pic of your other Micro, wouldn't mind having a look at that

yeah thats a common wolf fish with him. the bumblebee likes to push himself under the wolf fish and lay under him, and the ornate bichir like to lay ontop of the wolf fish. Needless to say the wolf fish hates it and gets awful pissed, but has never struck one of them.

I'll try, but my laptop's on the fritz and that's where I got all my pics. I think it's the same species just the coloration is different. Looks like they get the 10 gal for life lol. Love to watch them fight over the only hiding spot. It just looks funny.
