I just purchased a 55 gal tank to house juvenile Clown loaches (4). I have 2 BB cats in my current 29 gal. I want to put the bigger of the two in the 55 with the clowns. How well do you think this cat will like this situation? This will be a long term thing and I don't want to do this without any advice. Thank you

How big is the bumblebee cat? It should generally be OK as they are safe with all but much smaller fish.

This BB is probably 2-2.5 in. I know that right now there probably going to get along-I'm looking at the future. I've read that these cats get ornary with age. Are they a territorial cat? Do they get along well with black sharks?

This depends on what kind of SA bumblebee we are talking about. Microglanis is fairly peaceful, and Pseudopimelodus may be less so. I have had no problems with the 4" Pseudopimelodus in my tank with other cats, but that may because it's stlll small.

It is a microglanis iheringi, so I guess you've answered my question-Thank you much!
