Catfish - Phantom Glass (Kryptopterus vitreolus)

The phantom glass catfish (Kryptopterus vitreolus) is a fascinating, transparent freshwater fish from Southeast Asia, prized in aquariums for its unique, see-through appearance. It is a peaceful, schooling species that requires a well-planted tank and specific water conditions to thrive.

Replicate their natural habitat with plenty of live plants (such as Java Ferns and Anubias) for cover and shaded areas, as they do not like bright light. Use a soft substrate like sand to protect their scaleless bodies and provide a gentle water flow.
