Maintain these water conditions for optimal health and vibrant colors
Indian Glassfish (Parambassis ranga) is a naturally transparent shoaling fish for mature freshwater aquariums. The clear body is the appeal here; it should not be confused with dyed or painted glassfish, which we do not present as a healthy standard.
| Scientific name | Parambassis ranga |
|---|---|
| Adult size | 6-8 cm |
| Minimum aquarium | 80 litres or more, with 100 litres preferred for a group |
| Temperature | 22-26 C |
| pH | 7.0-7.8 |
| Temperament | Peaceful shoaling midwater fish |
| Diet | Small frozen foods, daphnia, brine shrimp, bloodworm and quality micro pellets |
Keep Indian Glassfish in a settled group with open midwater swimming space, gentle flow and planted cover around the edges. They are far more confident in a shoal than as single fish. Stable water, careful acclimation and regular maintenance matter because nervous or newly imported fish can be slow to feed at first.
This species does not need brackish water for normal aquarium care. A clean freshwater setup with moderate mineral content is the practical target for home keepers.
Offer small foods that move or sink slowly through the water column. Frozen daphnia, cyclops, brine shrimp and bloodworm are useful, with micro pellets introduced once the group is feeding confidently. Avoid relying on large flakes that drift away before the fish feed.
Choose calm community fish that will not bully or outcompete the group. Other transparent or delicate-looking choices to compare include Indian Glassfish, Highfin Glassy Perchlet and Glass Bloodfin Tetra, while peaceful shoalers such as Glowlight Rasbora and Neon Green Rasbora can suit similar planted layouts.
Order Indian Glassfish from Tropical Fish Co when your aquarium is mature, stable and ready for livestock. Fish are packed for UK delivery and sent by a licensed live-animal courier where live-animal shipping applies. Livestock orders are covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee.

What customers say about ordering from us
I have a small group of long finned mountain minnows. So was delighted to be able to order ten of this variety to increase the genetics in my tank . The ones I recieved are healthy but it’s to early to give a verdict on wether they are of a long finned type since they are small currently.

100% success travel and "installation". Pleased with quality of purchase. The Siamese fighter a bit "shy" so have not yet seen him at his best yet but looking good. Happy customer. GG
