Introduction: The Glass Catfish, a mesmerizing aquatic creature, is renowned for its translucent body that offers a unique glimpse into its internal organs. This peaceful fish is a popular choice for community aquariums due to its gentle nature.
Scientific Name: Kryptopterus bicirrhis
Water Quality: Glass Catfish thrive in soft, slightly acidic water conditions. Ensure the aquarium is well-filtered and oxygenated.
pH Level: Optimal pH range is between 6.5 and 7.0.
GH Level: Low to moderate GH levels are suitable.
KH Level: A KH level of 8-12 is recommended for stability.
Feeding: Omnivorous, Glass Catfish appreciate a varied diet including high-quality dried, frozen, and live foods.
Tank Mates: Peaceful community fish such as neon tetras, guppies, and other catfish species are suitable tank mates. Avoid aggressive or predatory fish.
Substrates and Tank Decorations: A dark substrate will enhance the fish’s visibility. Provide hiding spots using plants or driftwood.
Suitable Plants: Live plants are beneficial for creating a natural environment. Java Fern, Anubias, and Cryptocoryne species are suitable options.
Sexing Breeding: Sexing Glass Catfish can be challenging for beginners. Breeding in captivity is difficult and requires specialized conditions.
Maximum Size and Longevity: Typically reaches a maximum size of 3 inches (7.5 cm) and can live for up to 5 years.
Behavior: Primarily a nocturnal species, Glass Catfish are peaceful and often form schools. They prefer the middle and lower levels of the aquarium.
Things to Consider Before Buying: Glass Catfish are sensitive to water quality changes. Ensure your aquarium is established and water parameters are stable before introducing them.
General Information: These fish are best kept in groups of six or more to encourage natural schooling behavior. Dim lighting will enhance their translucent appearance.
A Fun Fact: Due to their transparent bodies, Glass Catfish were once believed to be blind. However, they possess functional eyes.
