Pristella maxillaris, the only species in the genus Pristella, which is commonly known as the X-ray fish or X-ray tetra because of its translucent body.
#Alphabet Haiku Challenge or AHC
Alphabet Haiku, is a Weekly Challenge of Abigail Gronway, this week it is the letter (X) which is the hardest to write so far.
xerograph x-ray
xeno X-chromosome xit
xenophobia
English describing the X Haiku
xerograph – photocopy produced by xerography, x-ray fish
xeno – something strange, X-chromosomes – sex determining xit – shorten form of exit, haha, all I could find to get seven syllables for the line.
xenophobia – a fear of strangers, that the X-ray fish in a bowl when a cat arrives.
Hope it makes sense and gave you a smile.
