Smokey Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 (edited) Rodsboys, any luck in locating the South American Bumble Bee cat ? I know they are available from the wholesalers, so any retailer in Ed. should carry them,/ be able to bring some in for you. Unfortunately, they are not a very common catfish for the average hobbiest to "want". I have had 6 of them in the tanks at the shop, for over a month and unless you point them out, you never see them. Most customers usually go "YUCK" or " INTERESTING" !

rudy Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Leiocassis siamensis. I have 4. Much cooler anyway. Watch how much they eat. They are pigs and will not stop until the blow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birger Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 What used to be called Leiocassis siamensis is now called Pseudomystus siamensis, regardless of the name it is a cool fish. :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOSStile Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Bought 2 at Riverfront during the sale for $5.99. Christian,are they S.A. bumble bees or the Asian Pseudomystus siamensis? I was unable to see if the top whiskers stuck up or out. I bought them on impulse, put them in my 55 and then proceeded to look them up on the internet. There I learned about their eating habits and I had just stuck a pair of 2 inch cats in with some 3/4 inch blue dolphin fry. :chair: I had to tear down the whole tank to find them and net them out. Of course in all the mess and confusion I still didn't make a note of the whiskers. They are now in my tank with 4-6 inch adults. And my wife questions why I would buy fish that I will probably never see. What can I say I thought they were cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
