I just acquired another aquarium and all its inhabitants which include two bumble bee cats. I never had these before and was hoping someone can give me some insight on them. They shared the tank with a variety of tetras and two corys which will be moved to another tank. I don't think the bumble bees mix well with these. Could be wrong. Thoughts anyone?

There's at least three different species common name of bumble bee catfish. But, let's assume the most common one. Have a read:

Given suitable cover and clean water they should be fine with anything too big to fit into their relatively big mouths. Neon tetras or fry of any kind would be eaten, but they're semi-social and pretty peaceful fish in general. Never see them out when the lights are on.
