Bumblebee Catfish. I think its South American not sure. Btw, pics are beyond me. Im lucky i got 1 that looks like an orange blob. I have never seen the catfish until today. I've had it for 6 months. I only see it cuz I upgraded from a 10g to a 20g so I finally get to enjoy him.
 
Looks like a south american to me, the asians have a pointier nose. Also, disappearing for months is a trademark of the south american bumblebee cat.
 
IMO two very different looking fish. :) The SA is much more common. Would like to get an asian or african bumble bee catfish myself. :)
 
Deffinately SA, the stripe in the caudal is a bit of a give away :thumbsup:
