Parambassis pulcinella- Humphead Glassfish

[PhishMon84]

Does anyone here have experience with these guys? I've admired them for a long time but usually theres only 1 available at a time and I'm not sure i have the right community for them.

would love to hear ppls experiences or share photos if you like!

have a great day!

Sorry but they are some strange ass looking fish. Pretty cool though

I have got three ... I think. I did have four or five, or even more.

Didn't buy them. Often when I get live feeders, there are some other fish mixed in with them. Last time I got three orange cheek barbs.

But a few times, I have got Parambassis, and I think they are Pulcinella. Have to scoop them out quick before they are eaten.

They really are nice looking fish. They grow slowly and are quite easy. Seem to like very warm water.

I would recommend them. I would really like to have a group of twenty or so, I think that would look impressive.

What a find!
But your location makes that more likely.

I’ve had tiny local catfish in feeders but no scores like that!

They are stunning but as a perchelette, I wonder if they would shoal
