Blind cave catfish!

[Moontanman]

This article is a bit goofy but the fish and the pictures are awesome! Do we have any native fish enthusiasts on Texas? Ever encounter these fishes? I think they are related to Flathead Catfish but their underground environment has changed them considerably.

They are occasionally brought up out of wells, such fish cannot be sent back due to the way the wells are constructed. Breeding them would be quite a feather in the cap of the breeder!

Do we have members from Texas who are familiar with this fish?

I am just saying that if Trump were in charge those dam Mexican fish would be sent back... stealing American fish's jobs!
