Glass fish

I keep reading about glass fish. Where can I find info? When I google them, I literally get results for actual glass fish. *sigh*

Try Googling the scientific name instead - Parambassis ranga, as well as it's old one, Chanda ranga.

or this:
Kryptopterus bicirrhis

aka glass catfish

Are they good community fish? Do they need to be in a school?

I personally would not keep less than 6 of them they do school.

Also stay away from the 'Painted' glassfish or ones with neon colors on them, as those have been cruelly injected/tattooed with artificial colors.

How big do they get?

About 2-3 in.
