First Time Owning Glass Catfish

[thefishgirl]

So after a succesful fishless cycle i made my way to the fish shop and stocked my aquarium.

My aquarium is 90 litres and 26oc

I have 2 guppys, 6 cardinals, 2 loaches and 3 glass catfish. I dont really want to add anything else as I think the tank is fully stocked as it is.

I have another tank and have succesfully kept all of the above fish, except for the glass catfish.

Is there anything I need to know about these fish? I read that they like blood worm and daphnia. I have both dried versions, however if i just feed this will my other fish suffer?

Thanks

Well, they are shoaling fish and as they are especially shy, they should be in a group of over 6. Also, they get pretty big (K.bicirrhis gets to 15cm). In my opinion, your tank is too small plus they need to be in a proper group which means a bigger tank. Unless you have a larger tank, it would be a better idea to replace these with a similar species (Indian Glassfish or Xray Tetras...) Sorry if I haven't directly answered your question but I had to point it out

EDIT: What species of Loach do you have?
