Due to the nature of the molten glass bowls, we presume it’s not possible to place the glass and wood in this kind of annealing environment. The molten glass bowls have hardened while their shape oozed over their unique wooden pedestalįor those of you with any knowledge of glass working, you know that glass artworks need to be annealed at a high temperature and allowed to be cooled slowly to prevent cracking, bubbles and to make the glass as hard as possible. The resulting semi-fusion of glass and wood look like something right out of a Salvador Dali painting. Red hot bowls of glass are placed directly on unique sections of wood while the glass is still hot, allowing the glass to cool and harden right in place. These molten glass bowls are exactly what they sound like, and made exactly how you might expect. So you can imagine how our interest was piqued when we sighted amorphous, glass bowls which seemed to have been melted onto their wooden pedestals at a market in Bali. The world of high end aquariums is mostly dominated by super straight, flat aquariums with ultra-clear and sharp edged glass. It’s altogether more surprising when you consider that these creations have hardly anything to do with the aquarium world, so far. You will have something that many people have never even seen before, as well as a fish that is one of the most interesting and coolest additions to the aquarium trade in years.Molten glass fish bowls are one of the most interesting new aquarium concepts we’ve seen in a long while. When available, these fish are certainly well worth the price. So, if you want something different, something rare, something new… take a look at the odd Humphead Glassfish. If a tiny tetra will fit in their mouths… it will surely be lunch! Even though these fish are relatively peaceful and can be kept with smaller community fish, beware keeping them with fish like neon or cardinal tetras. They will not eat plants, so keeping them in a larger planted aquarium is acceptable provided that your CO2 levels do not rise to a dangerous level.

It seems that the only things that the Humphead Glassfish are particular about is the need for excellent filtration, higher levels of dissolved oxygen in the water, and room to swim! Other than these requirements, you will find that these curious fish are very sturdy and make wonderful additions to your tank.

The small group that is kept here will ravenously feed on pelleted foods and thawed frozen foods. The pH should range from neutral to slightly alkaline. This extension is what gives this fish it’s bizarre shape and name. It has a spine from the dorsal (supraoccipital) area of it’s skull that is extended. The Humphead Glassfish is a schooling fish that benefits from being kept with members of it’s own kind. It is in these fast flowing streams that the Humphead Glassfish can be found. Within these forests are countless streams.

Myanmar is a country that has nearly half of its land covered in dense forests. With changing political climates, many fish have just recently become known to science from this region. Parambassis pulcinella hails from Myanmar, in South East Asia. It kinda rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? Well… as cool as the name sounds, the Humphead Glassfish is even cooler looking! If you have ever wanted a fish that has a bit of size and a lot of character for your freshwater community aquarium, this just might be the fish for you!Ī relative newcomer to the aquarium scene, the Humphead glassfish was not scientifically described until 2003.
