Striped Glass Catfish (Kryptopterus macrocephalus)

The Striped Glass Catfish (Kryptopterus macrocephalus) has been popular in the aquarium trade for decades due to its peaceful nature and active behavior. In the wild, they inhabit a variety of freshwater habitats in Southeast Asia, from clear water streams to quiet swampy areas, where they are typically found in large shoals. They are relatively hardy in the aquarium but prefer slightly soft water and excellent water quality. They should be kept in groups of at least 5 fish so they can form a school. Fast moving or nippy tankmates should be avoided as they can stress out the more peaceful Glass Catfish.
