Hi I have about four ghost catfish so far and I am hoping to attempt to breed these fish. I do plan on getting 2-3 more of these fish but I would like to wait until I can possibly sex the fish to get them so I could get the right ratio of gender.
I did notice, that some of them have darker and larger black areas on the bottom half of their sides and some have a darker green spot behind their heads.
I am hoping to breed these fish since they are extremely hard to find (minus a petsmart 15 miles away with a massive ick problem among the fish) and I would be happier if we could start leaving the wild ones in the wild.
Any information or photos would help. I have heard of pregnant glass catfish at stores but the eggs never made it. I also hear the females are plumper than the males when sexually mature, but how big must they be?
Could colors/iridescence prove the gender of the fish?
Does anybody have pictures of a pregnant ghost catfish?
Any information would be very greatly appreciated.
