Or at least just it's head

So is that a CGI redo or is that actual video footage? I watched it but didn't have sound

That's very fkn cool. Could only see the pics tho, couldn't see the video on my touch.

We used to have some sort of see-thru zebra fish in our tank when I was a kid, was awesome, could see the skeleton and all.

I haven't clicked the link cause I'm at work but we have a couple of small see through fish in out tank.

My 8yo called them guts and gizzards.

I can't remember their actual name/type though.

The things that look like eyes, apparently it's nose. The green things in it's head, it's sight receptors

For the first time, a live Pacific barreleye fish—complete with transparent head—has been caught on video.


I would say its real otherwise they wouldn't say caught on video.

those ones look pretty handy demon - being able to see if they have bones or not would make it a lot easier to know which ones you could use for fillets

If you look at a live glass catfish with a magnifying glass you can see its heart beating.

Opisthoproctidae is derived from the Greek words opisthe ("behind") and proktos ("anus").
