Glass catfish should be kept in groups of 5 or more or they will not feed properly. They will eat flakes better when there is competition from other glass catfish. Glass catfish do prefer other foods and need more than flakes. Try to get brine shrimp, blood worms, or California blackworms from your pet store. It is also important to keep them in a dusky environment, they do not like bright lights, and will be more active in the evening and night, and therefore also eat during that time. Water temperature should be around 75–81 °F, better at the high end.
