More about Indian glassy fish

The Indian glassy fish, also known as the Indian Glass Fish, is a small, transparent-bodied fish, native to freshwater habitats in South Asia. Its nearly invisible body, except for its visible bones and internal organs, gives it a unique, glass-like appearance. Originating from regions such as India and Myanmar, this species has garnered popularity in the aquarium hobby due to its distinctive, almost ethereal looks. Though not the most common species in the trade, its intriguing transparency and peaceful nature make it a fascinating addition to community tanks among enthusiasts.
