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.
