Glass Catfish (Kryptopterus vitreolus)
Glass Catfish (Kryptopterus vitreolus) is a very good fish for larger scale community fish tanks. They are fast, elegant and will always attract attention with its transparent body. You can feed them Hikari Micro Wafers or Dennerle Complete Gourmet Menu.

Jarreau Masogo (verified owner) –
Had 3 glass catfish from another breeder and topped the group off with another 3 from Mcmerwe. Overall I’m satisfied with the purchase and they’re doing okay in the tank. Only downside is I received one that had its whiskers both missing and on closer inspection I can’t see numbs where I’d assume they’d grow back so likely a deformity
