Riso-chan, The first expedition to the bottom of the Marianas Trench was manned. Can't remember the name of the sub; Alvin or something. Joe, many scientists feel that Europa could have life beneath the ice crust. The constant tidal pull of Jupiter could cause the core of Europa to be molten and its sea floor to be at least slightly seismic so that the possibility of smokers and their oases and lifeforms, or some similar, could exist.

I breifly heard something about that. So gravity from Jupiter could cause the heating?

I think that's how it went. The same tidal forces that keep Io molten. Arthur C. Clarke used the concept in 2061, Odyssey 3.

There is also the mexican Blind Cave Tetra. It's a variant of the same species (can't recaal which one) that is born with his eyes open, but as they mature, skin covers the eyes and they become blind. They live in very dark caves. My LFS carries them!

Thats the guy, I was going to buy one back then. But I thought that he wouldn't be able to find his food when I fed him (I was 11).
