🎄 Choosing a pet for Christmas can be a wonderful gift, but it also comes with a lot of responsibility 🎅

✨️Here are some tips for a smooth transition.
- Being prepared in advance by setting up their living space and allowing the appropriate amount of time to cycle/settle.
- Gradually introducing your new pet, allowing them to acclimatise to their new environment.
- For reptiles, quality time interacting with each other, allowing a strong bond to form ✨️

🎅 Giving a pet as a Christmas gift brings joy and companionship to your home. Just make sure you're ready for the responsibility that come with them. Full aquarium and reptile setups are available 🎄

The **African glass catfish** (Pareutropius) is a fascinating and elegant species of catfish native to the rivers and floodplains of West Africa. Here are some key details about them:

- **Appearance**: They have slender, silvery-white bodies with a single black mid-lateral stripe and a faint stripe along the lower part of their body. Their forked caudal fin and the black leading edge of the adipose fin add a touch of contrast.
- **Size**: They can grow up to 11.5 cm (4.5 inches) in length.
- **Habitat**: In the wild, they inhabit fast-moving waters with plenty of vegetation and a substrate of mud, silt, and rocks. They prefer environments with moderate to high oxygen levels.
- **Behavior**: These catfish are peaceful and active shoaling species, best kept in groups of at least six individuals. They thrive in community tanks with other small to medium-sized, peaceful fish.
- **Diet**: They feed on small planktonic invertebrates, bottom-dwelling crustaceans, and insect larvae. A varied diet including frozen foods like daphnia, mosquito larvae, and brineshrimp is recommended.
- **Water Parameters**: They are adaptable to a range of water conditions but prefer neutral pH levels and temperatures between 24-27°C (75-81°F).
- **Breeding**: Breeding them in captivity can be challenging, but setting up a dedicated breeding tank with fine-leaved plants and slightly higher temperatures can help. Females scatter eggs over the plants, and the fry can be fed tiny foods like baby brineshrimp.

African glass catfish are a beautiful and peaceful addition to any aquarium, adding a touch of elegance and tranquility to your aquatic setup. Have you ever kept African glass catfish, or are you thinking about starting a tank with them?
