Did you just recently add them? As it is normal for newly added fish to not eat for a few days...Also, they need to be kept in larger groups at least 6 or more. If you have had them for awhile I would suggest posting in the emergency section as this could be a symptom of something. Good luck, gorgeous fish.

glass cats will be pretty shy for the first couple days, maybe even week. they also prefer groups of six as said above, though 4 or 5 would probably be ok. in addition they dont like a lot of light, i have no more than 20 watts on my tanks with glass cats (kryptopterus minor) and plenty of rocks and wood for them to congregate under and around. they like some current too, which is why i keep them with loaches who also like the flow.

edit: oh yea, here's a relevant question i forgot, lol. what are you trying to feed them?

try them with daphnia, they love it. they can be quit shy. i guess a big shoal it the answer to that though.
