Agassiz's glass fish — a small freshwater fish with an almost completely transparent body. The spine and internal organs are clearly visible through the skin.
Agassiz's glass fish is distinguished by its transparent body, which makes it almost invisible among plants. It serves as an important link in the food chain of Australian rivers and lakes, eating small invertebrates and becoming prey for larger fish.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
