Glass catfish, also known as ghost catfish, are a unique and fascinating freshwater species that are known for their translucent bodies and active swimming behavior. They are native to Southeast Asia and are a great addition to any community aquarium.
Glass catfish can grow to a maximum size of around 4 inches (10 cm) in length, making them a great choice for medium-sized aquariums. They prefer a well-maintained aquarium with a temperature range between 23-28°C (73-82°F) and a pH between 6.0-7.5.
In their natural habitat, glass catfish feed on small insects and crustaceans. In captivity, they can be fed a varied diet of flakes, pellets, or frozen foods, as well as live or freeze-dried foods like brine shrimp or bloodworms.
Glass catfish are a peaceful species and do well in community aquariums with other peaceful species. They prefer plenty of hiding places and vegetation in their aquarium, as well as a well-filtered tank to keep the water quality high.
One of the most unique features of glass catfish is their translucent bodies, which allow their internal organs to be visible. They are also known for their active swimming behavior and can often be seen schooling together in the aquarium.
Overall, glass catfish are a great choice for hobbyists looking for a unique and peaceful addition to their aquarium. With their translucent bodies and ease of care, they are a great choice for both beginners and experienced hobbyists alike.
