Glass Catfish Kryptopterus Vitreolus 5cm
"Introducing the ethereal beauty of Glass Catfish (Kryptopterus vitreolus), a captivating addition to any peaceful aquarium. Originating from Southeast Asia, these transparent wonders shimmer gracefully, showcasing their translucent bodies that make them a striking centerpiece. With a peaceful demeanor, Glass Catfish thrive in groups and prefer dimly lit tanks with ample hiding spots. They appreciate a diet of small live or frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp.
Ideal tank mates for Glass Catfish include similarly peaceful species like small tetras, rasboras, or peaceful bottom-dwellers. Known for their non-aggressive nature, they make for excellent community fish. However, it's crucial to avoid housing them with larger or aggressive tank mates that might intimidate or prey upon them.
Recommended for intermediate aquarists due to their sensitivity to water quality, Glass Catfish thrive in well-maintained tanks with stable water parameters. Aim for a pH range of 6.5-7.5, a temperature between 75-80°F (24-27°C), and soft to moderately hard water.
Experience the delicate elegance and tranquility these Glass Catfish bring to your aquatic haven!"
