Dwarf African Bumblebee Catfish...Microsynodontis. batesii

Dwarf African Bumblebee Catfish… any experience???

Been looking for something African, to replace a few Albino Cory’s, as my African Tetra tank becomes more “regional”… I really wanted Dwarf Petricolas, but they are more an African lake fish, and like a higher Ph… I’m liking what I have been reading about the Bumblebee’s anyone have any experience with them???

I've never kept any. I think I may have seen one of the species sold under this name at a laundry spot in Gabon, cruising a wall underwater, near some abandoned leggings and shirts. The catfish were in a group, if that helps...

The fish were nice, but the leggings? I wouldn't have dumped them in a river, but I can see why someone else did.

Might be a decor idea for a habitat though.
