Detailed Description:

This fish is interesting in appearance because it has a transparent body that you can literally see through. It's quite small and will fit into most community aquariums. It will also co-habitate with other small catfish species like Corydoras.
Provide rocky hiding places and caves as well as plenty of plants. They are often quite active and will more than likely be out during the day, they are not nocturnal. They aren't too sensitive to water conditions so a normal pH and temperature for tropicals will suffice. Clean water is important, make sure you have good filtration and bi-weekly waters changes should be performed.

Foods should be of a sinking variety. Meaty foods work best.

Breeding and sexing are unknown.
