Bumble Bee Catfish

The Bumblebee Catfish is a small and striking freshwater catfish named for its bold black and yellow banding. Native to South America, this nocturnal species is shy by day but becomes active at night, scavenging along the bottom for food. It’s peaceful, hardy, and well-suited for planted community aquariums with plenty of hiding spots.
