Kryptopterus vitreolus, commonly known as Glass Catfish due to their transparent bodies, are a peaceful schooling species. They require densely planted aquariums with soft substrate and gentle water flow, adorned with driftwood and cover to mimic their natural habitat. Feeding them a varied diet of small live or frozen foods like daphnia, brine shrimp, and bloodworms ensures optimal health.
