Swallowtail Glass Catfish

Introducing the Swallowtail Glass Catfish, a striking freshwater addition that brings a touch of liquid glass to your aquarium. Brought to you by Tropical Exotics, a trusted name in tropical exotics known for quality fish and reliable sourcing.

With its nearly transparent body and a distinctive swallowtail-shaped tail, this catfish adds drama and movement to any setup. Its serene presence makes it a popular choice for planted and community tanks.

• Stunning translucence: a see-through body that showcases your tank’s substrate and plants, creating a luminous centerpiece.
• Peaceful, community-friendly: slow-moving and non-aggressive, it coexists well with other non-territorial species.
• Schooling beauty: thrives when kept in small groups, creating graceful, synchronized swimming patterns.
• Low maintenance in the right setup: prefers stable water conditions, gentle filtration, and regular partial water changes.
• Versatile in dimensions: adapts to mid-to-upper water levels in mature aquariums and looks stunning among tall plants or driftwood.
• Care and feeding: best fed with small live or frozen foods, or fine-quality flake; avoid overfeeding and ensure variety.

Care tips: Maintain stable temperature and pH, provide hiding spots with plants and driftwood, and quarantine new arrivals to protect existing stock. Avoid aggressive tankmates that may outcompete or stress this species. A taller, well-filtered tank helps showcase its swallowtail tail and keeps your fish comfortable.
