Grubs Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 I keep them - lovely little glass fish. A little timid and in a planted tank you can forget you have them as they'll hide among the plants. I've found they don't take to prepared foods at all so I make sure to give them hatched brine shrimp or wrigglers once a week. They take frozen brineshrimp too. In my bigger tanks I sometimes have a few that I forget to look after but with plenty of shrimp in the tank there are always some shrimp larvae or hatching for them to eat. I've never bred them - always bought from Aquagreen. Some I've had for a number of years. They have personality and swim like most glassfish in a in a stop-start-hover kind of way (like gudgeons do too) that makes them a little different to species that swim around all the time. I think they might eat small snails too. My biggest is about 30mm ... so they are a small fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotCrabs Posted December 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Would they be suitable with Threadfins and Blue Eyes? I gather they'd pick at Shrimp though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grubs Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Yes I've had them with Threadfins and Blue Eyes - no probs. I have some cherry shrimp in with them recently - the shrimp were added by mistake as tiny shrimplets in amongst moss and they grew to maturity -the Penny fish ignored them. They are not bullies. neat in their own way IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
