Description
The Buru Glass Perchlet is a small, schooling fish recognized by its semi-transparent body, allowing its internal organs to be visible. Native to estuaries and coastal freshwaters of Southeast Asia and Australia, it can adapt to both freshwater and mildly brackish conditions. These peaceful fish thrive in a well-planted aquarium with stable water parameters.
