Wild Caught Chanda Ranga Fry (Indian Glass fish)

[FAIRNOUN]

Please, try to explain more about the conditions of the glass fishes origin place. It will be very interesting, helpful and rare due there are very few videos about Parambassis sp. and Chanda sp.

I will try and mixup something with habitat/collection pictures etc.

Wow! I'm very fascinated with the Indian glass fish. I've been looking around for over a week to find some non-painted glass fish. They're so rare. Do you think it's possible for me to just buy the painted ones and try to breed them? Also, are all those eggs in that tank?

@7Defcon

I don't know much about their breeding but i could get the water parameters, where i collected them.

They are abundant here.

@harshwbajpai You actually found them in the wild? I am soooo jealous of you right now. The glass fish are probably my favorite fish, second to angelfish. But yeah... I don't want you to go through too much trouble with getting the water parameters. Thank you for the offer though. Right now I have 3 local fish stores trying to get me some that aren't painted. I really hope I get a call from them sometime soon. I've also tried looking online for non-painted glass fish, all sold out. =/

Yes, they were freshly caught at the time of the video, hance the bubbles in the new holding tank. A word of caution though. they are NOT community fish, especially the males. They are aggressive and very territorial. Best kept as species only, that too way more females than males. But they do look beautiful.

Good luck.
