Schilbeidae =
( SKILL bid dee )
This family of catfish are in the main, midwater swimmers,
and are commonly known as glass catfishes due to some
of them having transparent bodies
They can sometimes be confused with the Siluridae family
but the Silurids do not possess an adipose fin and their
dorsals are usually very small. Quite easy to keep in
the aquarium as the vast majority will accept flake food.
