Blind cavefish - I think...I'm sure I will be corrected if I'm wrong!!! |

They don't need eyes as it's so dark where they live |
| 16-08-2007 10:09 by silverstreem |

Best to Google it. From memory, despite them being blind, I think they are a shoaling fish but are fin nippers |
| 17-08-2007 00:15 by silverstreem |
googled him, he a great comm fish mid dwelin, will grow to 3.5-4". says that they have small eyes but covered by a leyer of skin, they are smater than dogs with a great memory, finds way around by sound and memory. also says that experements have been done on their eyes, lenses from other fish have been grafted onto theirs and the eyes grow back, scientists recon that they may bell hold a cue for blindness. oh long name for them is Astyanax fasciatus mexicanus, or as mentioned above Blind Cave Fish, a Mexican Tetra. thanks for the help folks |
