An introduction to the South American bumblebee catfish of the genus Microglanis, their species identification, care, and reproduction. Additional topics include their relationship to other Pseudopimelodids and to unrelated "bumblebee" cats from around the world.

In recent years there has been some confusion on some species of wood catfish coming into the trade. Which species is which?
