"The cave fish were first observed and photographed in August 2015" www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(17)30219-1

Twats.

Well, the UK is a separate land mass to Germany so we are still having it.



Ian

I've seen fish a couple of times in the side pool on route to boss chamber over the last 10 years. They were pale coloured and about 5"-6" in length. Never managed to grab one. I had assumed they were something like blind trout, probably in-wash rather than breeding underground. Quite rare to see them - maybe 1 in 20 trips. Three of us are at poachers tonight so I will keep a lookout

Dave

Dave,

Click the BBC link in the first post of the thread - there is a picture of it - see if it matches what you have seen.

If it does, then we have corroboration.



Ian

No, I think the ones I have seen are almost twice the length and white rather than pink,
so I don't think it is the same

That said I have caught glimpses of other things in the flowing water which could have been smaller fish, but didn't get a good look before the silt obscured them. I think there are quite a few caves which have fish populations in them (e.g. Ibbeth Peril) but they don't depend on the cave for their life cycle.

Dave

It's from Flintshire!!
Everything from Flintshire has 12 generations of inbreeding through it☺

You won't see the fish if you go in plodding around everywhere. They'll just bugger off and hide. If you want any chance of a pic then stealth is required!

Went back to Poacher's today with Sweetie and found 7 fish. None were the same as the original one we saw.

However, we did a short video of the ones we found;

(The youtube link thing doesn't work so you will need to copy and paste this by removing the chevrons);

Ok, I give up ... I cannot type a link in anyway (not even as text).

go to youtube

then add /henllan

It should show up as the latest uploaded video

Try the local fishing forums , I'd like to bet nobody has ever seen or caught a catfish in the river Alyn ! ?¿

?

Tried the link again - remove the "?" at the beginning ....

If you would like to research the fish in question ....
It is known as the Common Gobie
Which is native to the British isles
Found in fresh and salt water....
