Need some info on glass catfish. The ones that you can see through their bodies. If they can be put as a schooling fish.
Thanks

They MUST be schooling fish! If not kept with their own company, they waste away.

Ditto SwedishFish. They definitely do better and live longer in groups of 4 and up IME.
