Jewel Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) So i was having coffee with Amy today and she noticed my glass catfish has a whole lot of extra whiskers lol, i think 6 in total. I would take a pic but he never stops moving. Does any one else have a mutant like this one? I googled for some more info on them this evening and they all seem to have two???

Iceturf Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I'm pretty sure he's just behind on his hygiene. -- Has your glass catfish always had so many? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caprichoso Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I saw a tank of regular glass cats at PetSmart but there were 2 different ones in with them. They were still see-through but they had stripes on them and extra whiskers. I have never seen these ones before but they were nice looking. So maybe yours are this variety?

Jewel Posted December 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Lol, yes he could use a shave! I guess he must have always had that many whiskers, just didnt clue in until amy mentioned it! He looks like this with extra whiskers. http://www.aquariumphoto.dk/kryptopterus_macrocephalus.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caprichoso Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 I love mine too! They come out much more by moonlight and are very social. The next time I see the striped ones I think I will buy a few. I only have 6 atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Normal glass catfish are from south east Asia and the ones with the stripes are from Africa I am pretty sure. I have 2 with the stripes and they have 4 whiskers each then I have 3 normal ones who just have 2 whiskers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
