Chanda

The genus Chanda refers to a group of small, Indo-Pacific fishes commonly known as glassfish. These fish are characterized by their largely transparent bodies, which allow their bones and internal organs to be visible. They belong to the family Chandidae (or Ambassidae) and are found in both freshwater and coastal marine environments.12

Some familiar species within the Chanda genus include C. ranga, also known as the Indian glassfish, which is a popular Asian aquarium fish with blue-edged fins. Other species include C. buruensis from Indonesia and C. nama from India and Asia. It's important to note that the term "glassfish" is also applied to other unrelated, semitransparent fish species.1
