Blood colour

Claims in the popular press that this fish has totally clear blood stem from the france24 article, and quotes from and educator at Tokyo aquarium. I cannot find any scientific literature to back up this claim, and wonder if it stems from a misunderstanding, and word of mouth. Hence I think the wording should include the claim, but it needs more evidence, I doubt the aquarium has dissected either of its specimens to find this. My opinion could of course be classed as wp:or Martin451 (talk) 04:26, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I take my words back, the aquarium has disected one a couple of years ago.Martin451 (talk) 23:15, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
