The Glass Catfish, also known as the Phantom Catfish, is a small freshwater fish renowned for its amazing "transparent" body, which clearly reveals its spinal column and internal organs. It possesses long barbels on its upper lip and typically swims in schools, often hovering at an oblique angle. In nature, they inhabit clear waters with dense aquatic vegetation. Due to their unique, glass-like appearance, they are highly popular in the global ornamental fish trade and remain a consistent highlight for visitors in aquariums.
