Kryptopterus piperatus is a species of Asian glass catfish from rivers in northern Sumatra, Indonesia.[1] It was first described in 2004. True K. piperatus is rarely (if ever) seen in the aquarium trade, while K. vitreolus is common.[2][3]
Among described species of Kryptopterus, only three species are clearly transparent: K. vitreolus, K. minor and K. piperatus. The body of others, including K. bicirrhis, are only somewhat translucent or opaque.[2][3]
