Indian Glassfish are a shoaling species — they need 6+ to feel safe and show their full colour. Larger shoals stay calmer, eat better, and look stunning.

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.

Care and setup

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.

Feeding

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.

Tank mates

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.
