Please ID this bumblebee cat

Here he is. I thought that he was a dwarf SA bumblebee, but he is already 4-5" and growing pretty quickly. He is a voracious piscivore.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks guys. That is him. Hope he gets to the indicated 10".

Here are a couple of pictures of him trying to eat a convict.

lol, nice little )v(onster. Bought a South American Bumblebee Catfish awhile back, but turned out to be Pseudopimelodus charus.
Just glad to know that it gets bigger than 2", lol.

I think that he is my favorite fish, though I don't get to see him much. He will eat as much as I try to feed him, though.
