Blind Cave Fish

I am totally in love with this particular type of fish. I am amazed by its ability to find food despite the lack of eyes. This fish navigates around the tank using its lateral line system to avoid bumping into obstacles and other fish.

Blind Cave the Best

I have owned a few Blind Cave fish. They are awesome. Obviously they don't bother any tankmates ! It's amazing to watch these fish as they feed and just swim around. You would never know they couldn't see. Very easy to catch in a net when you have to !
