Thai Glass Catfish 3.5cm

Description

Thai Glass Catfish (Kryptopterus vitreolus) is a freshwater fish species belonging to the Siluridae family. Here are some details about this fish:

  1. Temperature: Thai Glass Catfish prefer a tropical temperature range of 72-79°F (22-26°C).

  2. Minimum Size Tank: A tank size of at least 20 gallons is recommended for keeping a small group of Thai Glass Catfish.

Feeding Habits: Thai Glass Catfish are omnivores. They will accept a variety of foods, including high-quality flakes, pellets, live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, bloodworms, and small invertebrates.

Habitat Preference: Native to Thailand, these catfish are found in slow-moving or standing waters, often in heavily vegetated areas.

Water pH Level: They prefer slightly acidic to neutral water conditions with a pH ranging from 6.0 to 7.5.

Behavior: Thai Glass Catfish are peaceful and should be kept with other non-aggressive fish. They may become shy or hide if kept with more aggressive tankmates.
Thai Glass Catfish are known for their shoaling behavior. They should be kept in groups of at least five individuals to make them feel secure.
 These catfish are social and prefer the company of their own kind. They are active during the day and are not strictly nocturnal. They occupy the middle and bottom regions of the tank.

Color and Other Details: As the name suggests, Thai Glass Catfish are transparent, and their internal organs are visible. They have a sleek, elongated body and a forked tail. The eyes are relatively large, and they have a pair of barbels near their mouth.

Other Details: Provide plenty of hiding spots with plants, driftwood, or caves as they appreciate cover. Good water quality is essential for their well-being, and regular water changes should be performed.

Remember that the information provided here is a general guideline, and individual fish may exhibit slightly different behaviors and preferences. Always consider the specific needs of the fish in your care and monitor their behavior to ensure they are healthy and thriving.
