Meet Ryukin the See-Through Goldfish

Meet "ryukin" the see-through Goldfish created by Japanese scientists. Thanks to breeding pale-skinned 'mutant' hatchery Goldfish together, they succeeded in creating a Goldfish without pigments in the scales and skin - making the major organs such as the heart and brain visible to the naked eye. Perhaps future owners will be able to tell when they are overfeeding their fish? Or they can just gross-out their friends.

For some reason the name brings back memories of Street Fighter...

Cool fish

 

Why are people so cruel to goldfish. Bubbles under the eyes, giant bellies that fill with air until they swim upside down, and now transparent ones which I am sure will be plagued with issues. Not to mention, the normal ones are used as feeders or given to children at fairs so the unfortunate fish can die a painful death.

 

People are cruel to each other as well.
