Dwarf Glass Fish
The Indian glass fish, or dwarf glass fish, is a popular aquarium classic. You can see right through them! These community schooling fish never get large and eat flake foods and get along with other fish in a peaceful community fish tank. Glass fish prefer to swim in a school of three or more, and are more apt to swim in the middle of the tank than hide in the corner if they have school mates.

These fish are beautiful and transparent, making them a great visual addition to my tank. I kept them in a 10-gallon community tank with tetras and they swim together nicely. They’re easy to care for and don’t need much attention.

I bought a school of three and they’ve been active and healthy since arrival. They stay in the middle of the tank when others are around, which is exactly what I wanted. Feeding them flakes is simple and they don’t eat much.

The fish arrived quickly and were in good condition. They’ve been swimming in groups and seem very happy. I love how they look through the glass and add a unique touch to my aquarium.
