Translucent Blind Catfish Found In Texas Cave - senona - 06-19-2016 Quote: A never before seen species of fish was recently discovered in Texas – and they’re unique in color, size, and the fact that they’re blind. Linky How unique, although that is from living in a cave, adapting to their surroundings. Quote:"Cave-dwelling animals are fascinating in that they have lost many of the characteristics we are familiar with in surface animals, such as eyes, pigmentation for camouflage, and speed," Sprouse said. No more than 3" long.....easy to lose if not careful. Or end up as fish-bait. RE: Translucent Blind Catfish Found In Texas Cave - Mystic Wanderer - 06-19-2016 Poor fish!
