Allow us to be more transparent for you.

How do critters like this even sustain their bodies? Are their blood and nervous systems transparent too?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago

Their nervous system isn't. You can see it in the photo.

I imagine this creature would probably be almost entirely invisible under water and look like just a pair of eyes and a spine.

What if there are bigger fish?

That’s cute. Now throw it back. Thanks.

Where the poop chute?

I'm assuming it's a 2-way digestive tract

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

No, fish have digestive tracts that go all the way through. Changing that would be way harder than keeping it mostly empty or full of water to make it clear.

Only John Cena is perfectly clear.

Nice!

Zebrafish are good for experiments because you can test phenotypes with a microscope without killing it.
