I'd go with Glass Catfish.

We have over 100 of them in our tanks, all said and told.

They're wonderful fish and I've always found them to be very hardy.

They look superb when they shoal in a planted tank.

To be honest, no I didn't.

I just copy and pasted the first image I found, as I couldn't find any copyright information on the website.

I'm impressed though, on all of the forums I've ever used or currently use, no one has questioned the copyright usage of images on the net.

EDIT: In fact, the image is used on so many different websites, I would have no idea who would hold copyright of it.
