Anybody else have glass catfish?! I got these guys a week ago and I am obsessed with them! I am beyond overjoyed at how confident mine have become too!!! They like to school together in their special space but I've caught them exploring and mingling with my other fishies and when they hit the light just right, they are magnificent!!! I LOVE these guys and am so happy I bought them!!! I have seven all together- sometimes it's hard to tell exactly how many of them are there but I love them and how they wiggle their little translucent booties!!!

Pretty cool! Never seen thee before.
Unfortunately they’re as fragile AF, you sneeze a wrong way and they will stop eating and die. They prefer not ever be seen, this might not be enough cover for them. They get stressed in light. I enjoyed them but found them to be pretty boring since they essentially stay in one place and crowd around, so you’re getting higher bioload without really getting that fish swimming experience.
I’ve seen cool setups of these fish where its ONLY those fish and they are everywhere, so they feel much calmer and safer to swim around.. But that will get super expensive.
I wish my pleco would come out of his driftwood hidey hole to eat some glass algae or whatever once in a while.
