See them from the beginning.

These are the homozygous culls out of a Bristol Shubunkin spawn.  They are half the size of the calico heterozygotes and a third the size of the homozygous wild type siblings.  This is my second species to develop/isolate a transparent fish in, a world's first?  Here is my first transparent fish in a zebrafish I call absolute.  I've sent it to reachers in 18 countries.  I came to the concept of a metallic eyed transparent zebrafish while thinking about these fish and how weak they are with their all black eyes.  Hopefully the absolute goldfish will be useful to science also.

Very small but well documentable Bristol Shubunkin squeeze/spawn. They were spawning and eating their eggs till noon when I went to feed the fish. Hand spawned a small/tiny wildtype female to two males: an orange and black nacreous and a fairly good calico.

A new photo to add to the favorite picture file.

Will have to retake with a plate full of eggs.

Black and orange male below the petri dish.

Adults floating in a 20 inch pan floating in a plywood tub with the 6 inch petri floating in the pan.

Here is how I hand spawn Bristol Shubunkins.  Sorry the camera mount kept falling but you get the idea.  This was a small spawn of approximately 100 embryos.  When the plate hatched there were 3 bad eggs.
