Kryptopterus bicirrhis - Glass catfish.
The glass or ghost catfish is a very shy fish that likes to swim near something protectve like a rock or plants, better if along 3 or 4 mates.
The transparency is quite amazing and they must actively do something to keep it because when they die they turn white.
Not very active except when it's dark. Looks like it just does not trust just in its transparency and prefers also the help of the night to wander around.
It doesn't seem to be very fast either.
