Nomenclator Zoologicus
Gymnochanda is a genus of fishes in the family Ambassidae, the Asiatic glassfishes. They are native to turbid fresh water habitats near peat or swamp forests in Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo, Sumatra and Belitung Island.[2]
They are among the smallest members of the family, reaching a maximum standard length of 2.2–3.8 cm (0.9–1.5 in) depending on the exact species involved.[3] They have no scales and are transparent, revealing the silvery sheen of the peritoneum lining the abdominal cavity. They are sexually dimorphic, with males bearing longer fins and brighter colors than females.[2]
