This fish has recently come into my possession after being surrendered at My LFS which couldn't take it, after some research I ASSUME thats this is an asian bumblebee but not 100% completely certain, any confirmation would be great.
Does anyone have experience in keeping/caring for these guys, she is 8" and could be around 6 years old but possibly 3 at the youngest. I have a 44g currently set up which is already close to her needs (I think!?) pH 6.7 which I will bring up a tiny bit, Driftwood (with Anubias plants) and Black water (from ketapang leaves) with a large hollow cave. I plan on doing it up with more bottom cover, plants, caves and tree root style driftwood, is there anything I have missed or should reconsider?
Whats can I feed her and what are the best options? I have no idea what she previously ate (apart from her tank-mates)

any information, advice, tank or tank-mates inspiration welcome and appreciated,
Thanks guys, oh and here she is, how I got her in a detergent bucket! wasn't happy about that!
