Kryptopterus minor
Kryptopterus minor is a small species of Asian glass catfish from the Kapuas River basin in Borneo, Indonesia.[2][3][4][5] Until 2013, the ghost catfish (K. vitreolus) was included in K. minor. The true K. minor is rarely (if ever) seen in the aquarium trade, while K. vitreolus is common.[2][3][4]
