Hi,
there seems to be some conflicting info on these fish.
I have unpainted Chanda wolfii in my tank and some research on the net has left me a bit confused. most ppl do say that they require slightly brackish setups, but some ppl have said that these fish are actually NOT brackish, but are FW fish. even wikipedia state this as well:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_fish
"Glassfish have been kept in aquaria for many years, but have a reputation for being delicate and difficult to keep. This may be related to a persistent myth that these fish need brackish water. In the wild they more commonly inhabit freshwater, and in captivity do well in slightly soft to moderately hard dGH 7 - 19, slightly acidic to slightly alkaline water pH 6.5 - 7.5."
???confused!!??
