The bumblebee catfish is a shy, but personable fish. It is a great bottom feeder for a tank of 20 gallons or larger. While the bumblebee cat is nocturnal, it can be lured out of its hiding place during the day with food. While generally peaceful, the bumbebee catfish may eat tank mates that can fit in its wide mouth. This omnivore is not picky, and will gladly eat pellets, frozen and freeze-dried food.
