What is a Translucent Glass Cat?
The Translucent Glass Cat is a tropical fish in the catfish family Cryptopteridae. The glass cat originates from Thailand and Malaysia in Southeast Asia. The body color of the Translucent Glass Cat is transparent and the bones are fully visible.The reason for this distinctive appearance is that the water in the area where the Translucent Glass Cat lives is crystal clear. If their body color were flashy, they would be more likely to be spotted by enemies, so they have adapted to their surroundings, resulting in their transparent appearance. Being in the catfish family, the translucent glass cat grows two long whiskers on the tip of its lower jaw. In many specialty stores, the name "glass cat" is used as an abbreviation.
