Personal Experiences With Painted Glassfish (chanda Ranga)

[emj0341]

Hello all. For the first time, I bought fish for my aquarium without researching them thoroughly first. Now that they are settling into their new home, I sat down and looked them up on the web, only to find a host of articles about their reputation for dying quickly, being prone to disease, and losing color in a matter of months. I would like to reach out to the more experienced fish lovers out there and hear about their experiences with these fish.

I know a lot of folks here are against dyed fish... It does seem a bit cruel to me. I think most people on here wouldnt buy 'em to be honest, although i have no experience of the ones you are talking about. In general if its dyed, i think its best to avoid! Anyone else??

Welcome on board by the way!

I did a similar thing; without knowing that they were injected with colour. Wouldn't buy them again.
Having said that, I have had no problems with them at all (had them for over 5 months); they have grown a fair bit, are lively and the colour is far less obvious now.
