Description

Glass Catfish hail from the fast-moving freshwater systems of Thailand. Growing up to 7cm long, Glass Catfish are unique in that their lack of body pigmentation means that you can see their complex skeletal structure with the naked eye. Glass Catfish are a strict schooling fish and must be kept in groups of six or more. Larger numbers reduce their stress and increases their confidence. Too few and they will shy away and hide. Glass Catfish thrive in clean, stable water conditions. To mimic their natural environment, consider lots of live plants as well as floating plants to reduce light intensity within the aquarium.

At Wirral Aquatics we feed our Glass Catfish EBO Pro Soft Artemia and Insect meal. They also enjoy a wide range of live and frozen foods.

Every aquarium is different. These are a guide based on water chemistry, adult size and temperament. Individual fish have their own personalities. Introduce new tank mates gradually, keep groups at the right numbers, and watch how everyone settles in. Ask our team if you'd like advice for your setup.

Ordering livestock

We strive to ensure that we honour all orders placed online. However, we are a small, busy shop and tracking livestock inventory can be challenging. If we are unable to fulfil your order, we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss options so that you can decide how you would like to proceed.

If livestock are appearing out of stock on our website, it does not necessarily mean that they are not available in store. If there is something that you are looking for, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss what is possible.

If you would like to view footage of the particular fish that you are looking to purchase, please contact us and we will send footage as per your request.
