Dougstark Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Has any one seen or know of native marine fish (looks more like a blenny than a goby) that is see-through like glass? They seem to get more see- through as they get bigger. And does anyone know what it is called? I have found them in Gisborne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F15hguy Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 was reading up about blennies the other day and several sources claimed true blennies only occur between north cape and east cape. did it look like this? By f15hguy at 2012-06-27 (hope this works) thats a common triplefin in juvenile colouring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougstark Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Blenny shape as said but looked like glass. Smaller one you could see some of the internals but bigger ones almost completely clear. Will have to wait till summer to have another look.

F15hguy Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 how big are they?, there is a Glass goby in NZ waters Gobiopterus semivestitus that is completely clear other than that can't find anything in my books or online (they don't tend to study it unless its profitable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
