James Kosloske - 2012-01-10 There are two ways you can determine the sex of your bumble, one is to let them mature at which time the males will be black, the other and best way to sex your fish is to vent them. Do not rely solely on the egg spot theory to sex you fish as it is not 100% accurate. Hope this helps.

Clarice Brough - 2011-03-25 Hey Klide, just go ahead and read the description on this fish. It tells you all about their colors when in breeding form. There's also some great info about their colors in the introduction paragraph too, as change color when they associate with the cave dwelling catfish and provide a cleaning service.
trevor - 2010-04-21 Believe it or not I have a 55 gallon, currently most of my cichlids are pretty much still in juvenile, but I have 2 red zebras, 2 bumblebees, 2 aurautus, 3 electric blues. Currently the two biggest are one of the zebras and a bumblebee. And the zebra is the more aggressive he dominates the whole tank and thinks every cave is his. I hope he doesn't become a problem, he just chases the other fish, hasn't killed any but thought that would be interesting to mention. Oh and the bumblebee is bigger. Maybe he's a chicken.

KLIDE - 2011-03-24 I would hope there would be no chickens in the aquarium.
quicky2g - 2010-12-03 This fish is not aggressive in my tank at all. I have it in a 30 gallon tank with 2 female kenyi's, a hongi, an orange blotched red zebra...and this one gets picked on the most. I might need to get a more aggressive one to keep up with the other fish. All my fish are 2.5-3 inches so they have a bit of growing to do.

quicky2g - 2011-01-19 I traded my old one for a slightly bigger and more aggressive one and it's doing much better in a different tank. They seem to eat anything I give them (Flakes, pellets or live food) and they're very hardy.
A fish with a 'chameleon' ability, the Bumblebee Mouthbrooder can quickly change color from almost black to yellow with stripes!
