The fish you show compared to those in the link RTR gave seem similar, however - quite different. The tail fin (sorry, not good with the technical terms of fish parts) seems quite different when compared, and the one photo that looks like it MAY be similar - the dorsal (one on it's back just behind it's head) is different. Colors look like it's a match, but IDK.. No expert here
Just my 2 cents!

I have a true bumble bee cat and she is fine, she hides alot... i would be more worried about your fahaka

it seems I have found a catfish that looks more like it, called Batrochoglanis raninus or bumblebee jelly catfish.
