Description
The Alabama Cavefish is a critically endangered, blind, and depigmented species endemic to a single cave system in Alabama. It relies on highly developed sensory organs to navigate and locate prey in its lightless, subterranean habitat. This species is not suitable for typical aquarium keeping due to its extreme specialization and conservation status.
