The Glass Catfish, also known as the Ghost Catfish, is a unique and fascinating freshwater fish that will add a touch of transparency to any aquarium. Originating from Southeast Asia, these fish are highly sought after for their translucent body and peaceful temperament.

 

To keep your Glass Catfish happy and healthy, it's important to provide them with a tank that is at least 20 gallons in size. These fish are schooling fish and should be kept in groups of 5 or more to prevent stress. They are omnivores and thrive on a diet of high-quality pellets, flakes, and occasional live or frozen foods.

 

Glass Catfish have a unique appearance due to their translucent body, which makes it possible to see their internal organs. They have a long, slender body with two barbels on their upper jaw and a forked tail. They grow up to 6 inches in length.

 

Glass Catfish are peaceful and non-aggressive, making them a great addition to a community tank. They can be kept with other peaceful fish, but should be avoided in tanks with aggressive or fin-nipping species.
