please see my "What's my catfish" query...

Post by TommyBoy »

Yesterday I stopped by one of my lfs. He had 2 of what his supplier called "dwarf bumblebee catfish" (title of my query in "What's my Catfish" forum) and their given source was Burma. That's about all the info he had on them.

Sirulus ID them as "Akysis prashadi or possibly Akysis vespa." Thank you, again. When I followed up looking for anything on the Internet (via Google searches), I found almost nothing other than Sirulus' body of work and the Planet's Cat-eLog.

1. Can others supply me with more practical data (hobbyists' experiences) on both species (or whatever species you believe they are)? Thanks!

2. And... Can others confirm, or if you think these guys are a different species, I'd also like to hear from you (and why you think they are what you think they are). Thanks again!

TIA,
