Silure de verre (poisson) : tout savoir sur le Kryptopterus bicirrhis

Le poisson nommé silure de verre, ou Kryptopterus bicirrhis, est sans doute l’un des poissons d’aquarium les plus fascinants. Sa transparence presque surnaturelle, laissant voir son squelette, en fait une véritable curiosité pour tout aquariophile. Ce poisson grégaire et pacifique de la famille des Siluridae est un ajout précieux à tout aquarium communautaire. Cependant, comme pour tout animal…

Ghost Catfish |  Kryptopterus bicirrhis

Glass catfish or ghost catfish inhabits in Thailand and Indonesia rivers. The fish prefers some streams and rivers with slow water flow, where the fish inhabits in a school and catches fish flowing by.

The Transparent Catfish

The Glass Catfish, Kryptopterus bicirrhis (An exceptional photo by Holger Knudsen)

The most transparent known vertebrates are the Asian glass catfish of the genus Kryptopterus.  The two most popular species are Kryptopterus minor, the ghost catfish, and Kryptopterus bicirrhis, commonly known as the glass catfish, which is a mainstay in the tropical aquarium.

Asian glass catfishes live in slow turbid streams throughout Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia.  They are schooling predators who feed on tiny arthropods, worms, and minnow fry. Camaraderie is important for the little fish—outside of a school, individuals rarely survive (even in an aquarium where all of their other needs are met and they lack predators).  Their remarkable transparency serves as camouflage, hiding them from predator and prey alike.  Growing to a maximum of four inches the catfish live for up to eight years.

Asian glass catfish are scaleless and lack pigment, however the cellular dynamics of their transparent tissues are still not fully understood.  In living specimens, the animal’s skeleton is quite visible and its internal organs can be seen with a silver sack.  A viewer with a powerful magnifying glass can watch the fish’s heartbeat and determine the contents of its stomach.  When the catfish dies so does its transparency–after death they turn an opaque white.

Types of Transparent Fish

New Post has been published on https://www.petculiars.com/types-of-transparent-fish/

Types of Transparent Fish

You can’t argue the fact that nature is pretty weird. But can anything be weirder than a fish with a transparent body that gives you a look inside its working body?

Can you imagine a fish that has skin so thin, that you can actually see through its entire body up to the internal organs and bones? Although pretty unbelievable, there are in fact some species of fish with a body that is completely transparent. Studying the general features of these very weird species is pretty interesting. These types of fish are usually used in scientific studies that are related to the progression of diseases and the effects of specific medication on living organisms.

Types of Transparent Fish

The organisms that live inside our seas and vast oceans are very diverse and we are still far from knowing and understanding all of them. Although an organism might feature very unusual characteristics, scientists agree that most of the time, these are developed as a way of adapting to the surrounding environment. For example, as a way of camouflaging itself, the leafy sea dragon developed its popular leaf-like protrusions. Transparent fish have developed this feature as a way of camouflaging themselves.

You might also like my articles on the crowntail betta fish, the oscar fish, or the black piranha.

The Glass Catfish

The Glass catfish, also called the Kryptopterus bicirrhis, can be found in different tropical freshwater bodies. Most of the time, these small fish are sold to become part of the aquarium life. Adults won’t be more than 15 cm in length.  They look great when they are in larger groups. They will only have one ray on their top fin, unlike other similar species. They will usually keep their top fin hidden and you won’t have an easy time trying to spot it.

Indian Glassy Fish

This is another very popular freshwater fish that has a transparent body. It is known as the Indian glassy fish or the  Parambassis ranga. It usually measures around  8 cm in length. This is one of the most-searched-for and desired fish species for aquariums. To make them even more interesting for people with aquariums, fish suppliers will even go as far as to color these fish with very vivid shades. They do this by injecting dye right into the creature’s body.

When artificially painted, the Indian glassy fish will be called either a dyed fish or a disco fish. The bad part is that painted glassy fish will be more susceptible to disease, allergy, and shock, and the coloration on the body will only be temporary. This fish will have an average lifespan of around 3 to 4 years when in captivity and under the best environmental conditions.

The Barreleye Fish

Although the first barreleye fish was found around 1939, scientists were not able to find a lot of information about this fish up until 2004, when the first specimen was caught and analyzed. The analysis was made by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, where special cameras were used to follow these fish. This dee-sea fish is also called Macropinna microstoma, and what sets it apart is that only its head is transparent, while the body is opaque, just like the body of any other fish.

Another very interesting feature of this fish, aside from its see-through head, is its tubular eyes, which are very sensitive to light. Its tubular, barrel-like eyes are why the fish is called a barreleye. They also have the ability to rotate their eyes inside a certain degree. They have a very delicate transparent, fluid-filled shield covering their head and eyes. Among its interesting features are also its large fins and its small mouth.

These are the most known and studied transparent fish breeds out there. The vast oceans and seas surely hold some other very interesting species that are bound to be discovered sooner or later and I will make sure to update this article or make a new one as soon as new species are found.

Cá Thủy Tinh - Thông Tin, Kiến Thức Về Cá Thủy Tinh

Xuất xứ từ các hồ nước ở Malaysia và Indonesia, cá thủy tinh có tên khoa học là Kryptopterus bicirrhis và là một trong các loài cá kỳ lạ nhất thế giới. Nhờ cơ thể sắc tố thấp và gần như rõ ràng của nó, cá  thủy tinh giống như một bộ xương sống có bộ phận cơ thể, bao gồm cả bong bóng bơi và cột sống có thể nhìn thấy được.

Know-it-All

I know polar bears are not white

They are transparent

Like Kryptopterus bicirrhis or the glass frog

I know that in the rainforest it never snows

But for the wood frog in Alaska

The powdery landscape is one it knows

I know it’s heart stops

Seven months out of the year

In springtime resurrects itself

I know the basilisk lizard runs on water

I know whale carcases are classified as

Their own ecosystems

One-hundred years of nutrients for the creatures of the deep

I know I had a gazebo with an angel’s trumpet

Sprawled over the roof

I know the plant is built from deadly poison

One sometimes sipped in tea

Russian Roulette across from death

If it doesn’t stop your heart it will steal your sanity

I know cough syrup can cause psychosis

I know the blue-ringed octopus' venom has no cure

I know that Clochán were built from stone

But no mortar

I know slow loris’ are a venomous mammal

I know mantis shrimp have the most complex eyes

They see in color variations

Incomprehensible

I know the chameleon and dragonfly see in

360 degrees of high-definition scoping capabilities

I know oxygen has shrunk the dragonfly

I know a person should take between

Twelve and twenty

Breaths per minute

I know only three percent of the ocean has been explored

I know that’s less than space

I know there was once water on Mars

I know the sun is nothing more than a big star

Destined to collapse in on itself

Fall like the rest

I know some fungus have mastered the art of mind control

I know the wandering albatross has the largest wingspan

I know the alpine swift can stay suspended in flight for months on end

I know young goats are called kids and a flock of crows a murder

I know there is a tribe

Isolated

That has yet to discover fire

Uncontacted by the outside

I know

“Au revoir”

“Adiós”

“Goodbye.”

Khám phá bất ngờ về loài cá trong suốt như thủy tinh, cực 'hot' ở Việt Nam

Cá thủy tinh là một trong những loài cá cảnh rất được yêu thích ở Việt Nam. Với thân hình trong suốt như thủy tinh, loài cá này mang vẻ đẹp mong manh rất khác biệt.

Cá thủy tinh còn có tên gọi khác là cá kính hay cá trê kính, cá trèn giấy. Đặc điểm đặc trưng của loài cá này là thân hình trong suốt, có thể nhìn thấy xương và các nội tạng bên trong.

Cá thủy tinh có tên khoa học là Kryptopterus bicirrhis. Loài cá có thân hình trong suốt này có xuất xứ từ các hồ nước ở Malaysia và Indonesia.

Cá thủy tinh đẻ trứng, trứng nở sau 24 - 48 giờ. Thức ăn của cá thủy tinh là những động vật không xương sống nhỏ dưới nước như bọ nước, ấu trùng...

Cá thủy tinh có cách tự vệ bằng cách tập trung thành những đàn nhỏ. Cơ thể trong suốt của chúng hòa lẫn vào nhau khiến kẻ thù bị rối loạn.

Cá thủy tinh trưởng thành có chiều dài chỉ khoảng 10cm. Cá có tuổi thọ ngắn. 

Cá thủy tinh tính tình hiền lành nên có thể nuôi chung với nhiều loài cá khác. Tuy nhiên, do cơ thể yếu ớt, cá thủy tinh thường trở thành m���i cho các loài cá sống cùng.
