This picture shows a
Glass Fish above and
another
transparent fish below.
This video
shows two types of Glass Fish. The dark lines through the centers of their bodies are their backbones. The fish
in the middle is a Glass Fish, and the other fish are Glass Catfish.
Here are two Ghost Glass Catfish swimming side by side. These Ghost Glass Catfish do very well with small fish like Neon and Cardinal Tetras.

Scientific Name:
Now
Parambassis ranga but previously Chanda ranga
for a long time.
Comments
Glass Fish are very good aquarium fish. They are hardy and mild tempered, and they are good tank mates for Neon Tetras and the other small
tropical fish listed above. Unfortunately, we see a few Glass Fish "painted" with orange, yellow, blue, and purple dye, that are offered for sale in fish stores. We don't know how
the Glass Fish are dyed, but we are glad to say that we see fewer and fewer painted fish.
You said on your site that you didn't know how glassfish are dyed. Well I thought your customers might want to know the
horror of it. They take the fish out of the water, take a needle and inject dye into them ... Only about half of these fish live to be sold.
Appropriate Home
An aquarium with an
exterior power filter with a BIO-Wheel, a
maximum of 1/4 inch of
gravel, and an
aquarium heater
adjusted to between 75 and 82 degrees F. Click
here for more information about warm water aquariums.
This is a Glass Fish for sale in our
facility. These fish are called Glass Fish, because they are transparent like glass, and you
can see through their bodies.
Recommended Diet
Floating
flake food for tropical
fish plus a few freeze
dried blood worms, which
are actually mosquito
larvae. Both of these
foods are sold in most
places that sell pet
fish.
Occasionally feed my
Glass Fish a treat of live Black Worms and live and frozen brine shrimp. Click
here
for more about Black Worms. Click
here for more general information about feeding fish.
Compatibility
Keep Glass Fish in a group with at least 6 Glass Fish. Good tank mates for Glass Fish are
Small
Tetras such as the Neon Tetra and
Glowlight Tetra, Harlequin Rasboras,
White Clouds,
Fancy
Guppies, and
Corydoras Catfish. Glass Fish do well with
Angelfish unless the Angels are quite big, and the Glassfish
are so small that they can be swallowed by the Angels.

other groups of compatible fish.
Size and Lifespan
Glass Fish can grow to a
bit larger than 3" and can live for a few years.

About our Fish Photographs ...
Almost all the photographs and videos, shown on this web site, were taken
by us in our aquariums of our fish. Compare the healthy,
beautiful, energetic fish in our beautiful aquariums to the
fish in our competitors pictures. Their fish often look thin
with clamped fins and poor color.
We buy the highest quality fish, produced by the best fish
farms or caught by the best collectors of wild fish, then we take incredibly good care of our fish in our beautiful aquariums. If you compare the pictures on this site to our competitors pictures, you can instantly see, our fish and aquariums are better!
;^ }
Will the fish you get from us look like the fish in our pictures? No! This is similar to buying kittens and puppies, that will change as they grow to become cats and dogs. We stock and ship fish that are the ideal size to sell. Not so small that they will not do well when shipped. Yet not so big that they have become much more expensive. The fish in almost all of our pictures were young fish like the ones we have for sale that we raised up, and you can too!
