Hey they are really peaceful fish. They keep themselves to themselves but can be picky eaters. It takes a while to get them to take flakes so I started them on Daphnia. They like to be in groups also.

Hitrixster: I keep a school of Glass Catfish, they might be odd-looking but quite rewarding to care for. When I got them I placed them in a well stablished tank with Boesemani Rainbowfish and Upside-Down Catfish. These fish are delicate when it comes to water parameters so it seems like a good idea to give the tank some time (say 4 to 6 months) before adding them. Cardinal Tetras are also quite delicate.

I don't know if Angelfish would coexist with Glass Catfish although I honestly think it is doable but it is most likely than not that the Cardinals will become food for Angelfish once they grow. Another issue is that Angelfish usually need/prefer some height (tall tanks) while Cardinals and Glass Catfish require some swimming area (long tanks).
