Glass catfish

Kryptopterus bicirrhis

The Ghost Glass Cat, also known as the Indian Ghost, Ghost Fish, Glass Catfish, or Glass Cat, is a very unique fish. Its clear body allows onlookers to see its inner body, including organs and the skeleton. Ghost Glass Cats are very peaceful, and a great community fish that will give their caretakers hours of enjoyment.

Ghost Glass Cats should be kept in groups of five or more. If they are not kept in groups, they will often go into a state of stress, stop eating, and waste away. They do not like a lot of light. In darkness or low light, the Ghost Glass Cat will come into the open and swim around. If their tank is brightly illuminated, they will usually hide from the light. Ghost Glass Cats should be kept in tanks with plenty of rocky coves and hiding places, as well as dense, live vegetation.

It is extremely rare and difficult to breed Ghost Glass Cats in captivity. No techniques have been discovered to breed them in an aquarium. It is generally believed that Glass Catfish lay and scatter their eggs.

Ghost Glass Cats are omnivores and should be fed a diet of flake and frozen foods, as well as freeze-dried bloodworms and tubifex.
