Will those bubble bee cats be ok in a 55 gal with yellow labs and baby (1-1.25") acei???

 

[msjinkzd]

Rachel, How big do the A. Vespa Cats get?

 

[msjinkzd]

1.6" is max size recorded. They are dwarf

I gotta say, I brought them in on a whim, and they are soooo active and vibrant that I am considering setting up a permanent hillstream display. They go a mile a minute up and down the glass all day long. Really neat little fish. They also dogpile together though they are not really considered a "social" fish. I will try to get a video at some point. Their colors are nice and vibrant too from a super bright orange to a more muted orange mixed with brown and nice brown bellies. I am really enamored with them.

[msjinkzd]

okey dokey

Hey Rachel do the bumblebees do alright in higher temps?

 

[msjinkzd]

The bumblebee catfish?

here is an article about them: http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/content.php?sid=2581

Ideally they are not in warmer temps, but that article suggests they would do fine. I know that they would need a decent flow in higher temps as they are a hillstream species which typically means strong current/flow and high oxygenation.

WILL NERITE SNAILS SURVIVE IN A CA/SA TANK OR WOULD THEY BE EATEN?

 

[msjinkzd]

that depends on what the ca/sa fish is. I wouold not put them with larger more rambunctious fish as they would likely not eat and would starve. I do keep them with my apistos and discus but had zero luck when I tried to keep them with my oscar (if that helps for perspective)

 

[msjinkzd]

Pleasei f you want me to bring stuff to the meeting, send me a pm of confirmation with what I am bringing so I don't forget anything

 

[Shinchan]

Any experience keeping the bumblebee cats with multies? I'm wondering if the multies would harass them too much even with additional rock formations for hiding.

 

[msjinkzd]

haven't tried it yet, the only thing I have kept with multis is nerite snails and endlers (snacks)
