Giant Bumble Bee Catfish Pseudopimelodus Bufonius 10cm

Overview: The Giant Bumble Bee Catfish, scientifically known as Pseudopimelodus Bufonius, is an eye-catching and hardy species prized for its unique appearance. With its striking yellow and black striped pattern resembling a bumblebee, this catfish makes an impressive addition to any large freshwater aquarium.

Origin: Originating from South America, particularly the Amazon River basin, these catfish thrive in slow-moving rivers and tributaries, preferring sandy or gravelly substrate for burrowing.

Feeding: Feeding on a carnivorous diet, the Giant Bumble Bee Catfish readily accepts a variety of foods including sinking pellets, frozen or live foods like bloodworms, brine shrimp, and small crustaceans.

Tank Mates: Peaceful and compatible with most non-aggressive fish species of similar size, they do well with other large, peaceful community fish like medium-sized tetras, peaceful cichlids, and other catfish species.

Aggression: Typically non-aggressive, these catfish are known for their calm demeanor, rarely engaging in territorial disputes. However, providing ample hiding spots and space is essential to minimize any potential conflicts.

Experience Level: Suitable for intermediate to experienced aquarists, the Giant Bumble Bee Catfish requires a moderately sized aquarium with stable water conditions and a good understanding of carnivorous fish care.

Water Parameters: Maintaining a stable water environment is crucial. Aim for temperatures between 72°F to 78°F (22°C to 26°C), a pH range of 6.5 to 7.5, and moderate water flow. Regular water changes and excellent filtration are recommended to ensure optimal health.
