Glass catfish – Kryptopterus bicirrhis (Family: Siluridae)
Behavior
The Glass catfish is timid and pefers to be in a small shoal with its own kind but is alright in a community aquarium. Its is a delicate tropical fish that will grow to about 11 cms. It has an unusal behavioral mode as it sometimes rests on the tank bottom, quite still, in the plants.
They may even be leaning to one side or have their head down and appear to be in poor health r even worse, dying! However they are not. This is normal for them and they will suddenly shoot away when disturbed. (more…)
