If your gonna buy one aquaImports has some right now here is the link.

Giant Bumblebee Catfish (Pseudopimelodus bufonius)

An attractively marked, medium sized catfish, the Giant Bumblebee Catfish (sometimes also called Jello or Jelly Cat) is found throughout the Orinoco and Amazon basins. In the wild, it tends to be found in relatively shallow, slow moving waters - often buried in leaf litter - and is an ambush...

Thanks for looking that up but I don't live in the US. Won't be a problem getting one here either though but I'm sure you guys have a much wider supply, as with most species.

If you like the bumblebee pattern, you could also look at Asian bumblebee (start typing bumblebee in the Planet Catfish Quick search), or at Harlequin lancer Bagroides melapterus.

An example: https://www.aqua-imports.com/product/harlequin-lancer-catfish-bagroides-melapterus/

These would be much more active than the mostly log-like GBBC. Not trying to change your mind, only offering.

I have 5 Asian bumblebee in a 75 along with other fish. The females are 9” and the males 6” and they are active when the lights are out. Sometimes active when the lights are on if fed. I have a 6” harlequin lancer in my 6ft community tank and think you might see both of those species much more than Buffonis as Victor says but depends what you are looking for.

It's not so much about the pattern as the whole appearance for me, I guess I just have a weird preference. For example I think the false Jaguar is more attractive than the real Jaguar. Don't think most people will agree with me on that one...

Also, it doesn't bother me that the bufonis is sedentary, I was just concerned that it'd be so shy that feeding and such would become a problem. Other than that I'm fine with it being lazy.

Should also add that I think both the Asian bumblebee and Harlequin Lancer look great, just not exactly what I'm looking for.
