do you think that it could kill my fish?

If the fish is see thru it could well be the fishes intestines and nothing to worry about. If its a female and pregnant it could be what they call a gravid spot...where the eyes of the fry show through the thin scales. If its this it will be roughtly triangular in shape. The links below might help identify the fishes species and if its a gravid spot. Other than that I guess its a case of wait and see.

There are several species of fish that do loose there pigment as they get oldier hence the see through look. If you could find out the kind of fish you have it would make it easier to give you the right answer. But it sounds like your fish has some type of pararesite attached to it. I have several species of fish that have lost there pigment over the past several years and there almost transparent.

Could be a ghost fish check out the net to see if you can find out there,there's lots of remedies you can put in your tank but you need to find exact cause first.There must be a tropical fish shop in your area where you can get advice ask around.Go to your local library and find out which species it is.

Go to a local pet store bring your fish and they might say a baby is growing in your fish if it's a girl if it's a boy it might have a infection.

could be some sort of nematode parasite(s), they can grow to be as big and bigger than the mass of the fish alone
