Pseudopimelodidae

The sub-family of Pimelodidae, Pseudopimelodinae, is now considered a full family status of Pseudopimelodidae and is of course closely related to the Pimelodidae family.

Mostly contains the smaller to medium pims such as the South American Bumblebee, dwarf marbled catfishes and the larger Cephalosilurus species. Relatively easy to keep in the aquarium, can be predatory to the smaller inhabitants, but if tank mates are chosen carefully they will do well.
