painted glass fish do not generally have a long life. the reason they are called painted glass fish is they are literally painted. the colored stripe doesnt last very long and then you are left with a regular glass fish with no color. they are a tropical fish and eat a normal tropical fish flake food.

Do not buy them. Painted glass fish are indian glassfish that have been painted or injected with dye. They will not live long, and if they do the color goes away but the whole painted fish industry is animal cruelty and needs to be boycotted. If you see a fishstore that sells them, tell the manager why it is bad an that you will not be supporting their business aslong as they continue to sell painted and tattooed fish. Be polite about it tho.

Indian glassfish are brackish fish wich means they need salt in the water and they will eat regular tropical fish flakes altho some will only eat frozen brine shrimp. The tank needs to be filtered and heated and atleast 10 gallons or more. The temp needs to be stable at 78-80 F.
