Can fishes see in dark?

Fish living in the deep sea manage to navigate in complete darkness. It’s not strictly ‘seeing’ but fish have rows of pressure-sensitive organs running down each side of their body called the lateral line, which allows them to sense nearby animals from the pressure changes in the water.

Can a fish live in milk?

The simple answer is “no,” but the nuanced response sheds light on how fish, and all other organisms, function. Fish have evolved over many millions of years to survive in water with a certain amount of dissolved oxygen, acidity, and other trace molecules.
