Just don't go about plucking their eye out

Why would I do that? Bichirs are my favorite fish. Spent too many $$$$$$ already to do that kind of damage.

Not sure if it was intentionally blind. I will try to post pics of my blind bichir if I get a chance to take some pics. They are not that active and hides most o the time.

Lol! That is because they are stress and that is why they turn pale. I had many blind bichirs from blind senegal, blind laparadei and blind endli and they are all turn dark. I had one of my lapradei that got blind last year and in 3 weeks in turned very dark. Many have done this kind of experiment in Asia where they purposely blind the bichirs and fooling the buyer that they melanistic for more money.

Blind fish and cave fish are always a light color ex: blind cave tetras are light.

Bichir are not born blind nor they stay in caves. If you wannabe an expert try to blind a bichir and find the result yourself. Blind cave tetra evolved that way. If a bichir stayed in cave and over million years of generation of staying in that cave then yes it will turn pink.

The bichir does not even know its blind. All it knows is that its pitch black, so he will try to match into that environment. At first I thought the same thing that they would be lighter in color, but its not evolution but a reaction.
