Transluscent fish?

Hi.

I'm trying to find a species of fish that is transluscent through adulthood. I want to use them in my bio-lab to get some pictures of neuro-anatomy. I know their are several varieties of freshwater fish that are suitable to study... but I'm just curious if their are any transluscent salt-water fish. All I can think of is the 'butt-fish'... It would be extremely difficult to breed in captivity...

I'm interested in finding a salt-water fish that:

1. Is transluscent.
2. Short maturation cylce.
3. Can be bread easily in captivity.
 
There are a bunch of small cardinalfish species that fit your criteria and most of them are fairly easy to breed. The longspines are usually readily available.
 
The freshwater glassfish, Parambassis ranga, cannot live in full strength seawater. They will do well in slightly brackish waters--not seawater.
