Icefishes of the family Channichthyidae has transparent blood because they have no hemoglobin. The oxygen is absorbed directly through the skin from the water.


Hi all. My main interests are Thailand, Education, Religion, Buddhism, Film, and Fishkeeping. I'm the founder and coordinator of Wikipedia:WikiProject Aquarium Fishes and its newsletter. I'm also involved with several portals including Fish Portal (creator, monthly updater), Amphibians and Reptiles Portal (creator, monthly updater), Thailand portal (monthly updater of several sections), Cambodia portal (monthly updater), and Asia portal (used to monthly update but stopped - it's pointless to keep a portal that doesn't have any readers whatsoever). I also created The Fish Quiz as part of the Fish Portal.
