Indian glassfish (Chanda ranga)

This spectacular fish is very timid and should only be kept with similar size peaceful fish. They are often sold in pet stores injected with dye. This practice should be discouraged as it is painful and unhealthy for the fish.

There seem to be a number of varieties of glass fish out there. There's even a new one called the rhino glass fish or something like that. About fifty bucks a pop last time I saw them on the lists. The coolest ones I've owned were supposedly wild caught and had a yellowish pinkish hue to them and faint vertical markings. They were way healthier than the dyed ones (of course) and even fared batter than the typical undyed ones we're seeing more and more now. Beware of weird cauliflower like growths. Although it doesn't seem to be fatal in and of itself, it's rumored to have something to do with a contagion in importers holding tanks. I've also heard it might be remedied with the addition of salt. Not sure though. Buyer beware.

Don't be a part of the problem. Ask your local fish stores to stop selling dye injected fish such as glassfish.
