About the Species: The glass catfish is a small species native to Asian waters, also known as the ghost catfish or phantom catfish. They hold a special place in aquarium trade history. The clear appearance of K. vitreolus is what makes them so fascinating. Their bodies are completely see-through. This allows you to see their organs, bunched up by their heads, and their spines. You can even see their heart beating with a magnifying glass.
Another feature that sets glass catfish apart from other types of catfish is their lack of a dorsal fin, a fin that runs along the top of the fish. In fact, this is where the genus name comes from. Kryptopterus is Greek, with the root ‘kryptos’ meaning hidden and ‘pterus’ meaning fin. Kryptopterus means “hidden fin.”
