Phantom Glass Catfish

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with these fellas. I'd like to introduce them into a tank with Silver Dollars, Clown and Kouli Loaches, BN Pleco, and a couple of freshwater shrimps.

I've had them in a few aquariums. The are beautiful...a true schooling fish. You'll find they will stay in a tight school all of the time. For this reason, the more you have, the better. They are rather sensitive and simply will not do well without significant numbers. Also, there isn't an aggressive bone in their transparent bodies. As a result, the are best kept with only peaceful, non-boisterous fish. Fish that are very active and "bossy" can really stress them...not good for their health. They are quite susceptable to stress and poor water conditions.
Good luck with them. I hope they work-out for you!

Thanks for that...What I have are happy in each others company, so I hope they don't bother them. I think I will have a dozen of them at least. I don't think the clown loaches will bother them.
