It would have no room to move around in. I agree, you'd need a much bigger tank. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

TigerAngel Fish Addict Posts: 522 Registered: 22-Feb-2004	Yeah, it's a biggen heh I was reseaching for a (Pseudopimelodus raninus) Bumblebee Catfish information for a friend who wanted one, once he saw that, he sort of changed his mind. This is the url I got it from http://usuarios.iponet.es/casinada/19amazon.htm Unfortunately it is in Spanish I think. Another URL is http://fish.mongabay.com/species/Pseudopimelodus_raninus.html click on pictures and you will see all the photos. Last edited by TigerAngel at 17-Oct-2004 03:36

Shinigami Ichthyophile Catfish/Oddball Fan Posts: 9962 Kudos: 2915 Registered: 22-Feb-2001	Well, there is more than one species of Bumblebee Cat, coming from both Pimelodidae and Bagridae, hence the confusion. Actually, I do believe Bumblebees tend not to be Pseudopimelodus raninus, but that's a guess. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

TigerAngel Fish Addict Posts: 522 Registered: 22-Feb-2004	Shinigami, you are so right. This is the South American Bumblebee Catfish. http://www.scotcat.com/factsheets/microglanis_iheringi.htm While this is the Asian Bumblebee Catfish. http://www.scotcat.com/factsheets/pseudomystus_siamensis.html Still I was amazed that they grow that big. Perhaps this was the one that eat the dog. keithgh (see threat of keithgh re catfish bites dog.)
