Astyanax blind fish

An Astyanax blind fish, exhibiting a sleek, torpedo-shaped body with a translucent, milky-white to pale pink skin lacking scales. Its fins are delicate and almost transparent, allowing for agile movement in water. The head is relatively small and lacks developed eyes, instead featuring prominent sensory pores and fine barbels around its underslung mouth. Its smooth surface suggests a soft, flexible texture, adapted for navigating dark aquatic environments through touch and chemosensation.
