We all know about the blind cave tetra.



And most of us know about the blind cave catfish.

But I know there are MORE blind cave fish! If you know about one, post it here! And a picture or link if possible.
Someday, I want to do a blind cave aquarium with at least three different types of blind cave fish.

The issue with other blind cave fish species is that they are endemic to a single cave or few caves. They have slow reproduction rates. Blind cave tetra is a cave form of Mexican Tetra but not enough distant to be a separated species. The blind cave tetra are more recently and not 100% blind since they still have eyes where other cave fish species have isolated for so long time, eventually they lost their eyes.

There's a blind cave cichlid in Africa. Not much is really known about it though.
There's actually been some in-depth study on the evolution and structure between the cave-dwelling Lamprologus lethops and its sighted conspecifics.
