Asian Glassfishes
Ambassidae
The Asiatic glassfishes are a family, the Ambassidae, of freshwater and marine ray-finned fishes. Some species are known as perchlets.
The family has also been called Chandidae, and some sources continue to use the name, but as Ambassidae was used earlier, it has precedence over Chandidae, which was first used in 1905.
