    I had no idea they were transparent as juveniles. Awesome!

    All fish are transparent up to some point. Humans too.

    I wish there was a way to judge their actual size. They seem a lot bigger than what I'm sure they are.

    D'oh! I should have remembered that from back when I bred flowerhorns :)

    Looking forward to hearing more regarding what conditions caused a successful batch.

    That's awesome! Can't wait to see what's going to be the next species on the captive bred list.

    Great post Bud. Be interesting to see if the procedure can be replicated with other Zebrasoma species.
