I went to my local pet store the other day and saw "painted" glasses fish for sale there...or at least thats what they called them. They had not been injected with colour, so I'm not sure why the claimed they where painted. I know they wernt glass catfish. I wish I could find a picture of them somewhere. I'll try..
Alright..they looked a lot like this, but without the colour cruely injected into them:



Anyway..now I hope all of that made sence, but my main point of this post is...how do you care for them? They are fresh water, if I am correct. How many gallon do they need each, and do they need to be in schools of their own kind? What other fish care compatable? What sort of heating do they need? Any information for care on these fish would be a great help. Thank you!

the only painted glassfish I know of are those. They're stripped of their slime coat in an acid bath and then injected with those ugly dyes. To care for those, keep them salted up and use stress coat for the first few months, then treat them just like normal glass fish. THey will probably have a very short life span because of their stresses early in life.

The only thing is...the ones in my pet store hadn't been injected or dyed.

here is a pic of them naturally

If they have any colour then they are dyed

Thank you Sandy!
