Cave angelfish fancam
(Image ID: Five images and one video of a cave angelfish/ waterfall climbing cavefish, cryptotora thamicola, at various angles. The video shows it crawling up a glass container. The cave angelfish is a 6 centimeter-long pale, blind animal that lives only in a few caves within Southeast Asia. They are unique for their ability to stick to the vertical rocks of active cave waterfalls and climb their way up by their fins as if they were a salamander. They are in the family of hillstream loaches, which often use suction or other methods of holding on to things as their native streams are usually fast-moving. End ID)
