科: Siluridae
玻璃猫为鲶科鱼类,和平的底栖巨鱼,对中上层生活毫无兴趣,原生分布于东南亚(泰国)。触须状的须子像手指一样阅读沙地,粗糙底砂会慢慢磨损它。成体约 4.9–7.2 cm,共用一块缸底,数量勿多,适宜水温 21–26 °C。沉底饲料,关灯后再喂。
From the waters of Thailand, SE Asia comes Kryptopterus vitreolus, a member of the family Siluridae. A whiskered bottom resident whose day begins when the lights go off. It lives on the bottom. Adults reach 4.9–7.2 cm. Pairs for the small species; solitaries for the big. Feed sinking foods after lights-out, keep the sand soft, and never let nitrate climb unnoticed. Maintain 21–26 °C at pH 6.5–7.5. A rewarding species for the aquarist who reads before buying.
