• ✅ These catfish typically grow to around 2 to 3 inches in length, making them suitable for smaller aquarium setups. Their compact size allows them to thrive in nano tanks as well as larger community tanks
• ✅ The Bumblebee Catfish (Microglanis iheringi) is a small and colorful catfish species native to South America, particularly Brazil. It gets its name from its distinctive yellow and black striped pattern, resembling that of a bumblebee. This striking coloration makes it a popular choice among aquarium enthusiasts
• ✅ Bumblebee Catfish are known for their peaceful disposition, making them ideal additions to community aquariums. They generally get along well with other peaceful fish species and are not aggressive towards tankmates
