Yes there are fish. I've been told catfish, which is what they appear to be to me. I've also been told their a special type of fish only found in the Yucatan. The person that told me they're catfish told me they were brought down by a couple who bought a piece of land with a cenote on it and released them. All true cenotes are connected to a vast underground river system, largest in the world- runs from one end of the Yucatan to the other. What's the truth I have no idea. I do know when I try to photograph them they it turns out like this-
There's five dark objects near the center and those are fish.
BTW- The underground cenote I showed is in a town. Next to the family's home is that old door. Behind it there's a yard where they hang clothes out to dry. In the front corner, to the right of the door, there's an opening that leads down that staircase. You could easily be in the yard and not know there's a cenote there. As I said part of the cenote is directly under a city street. When I was first told they had a cenote I figured it was out of town somewhere. I went to their house, we had a beer and my friend asked if I wanted to see their cenote. "Sure, let's go" as I grabbed keys. He said "why are you taking you're keys?" "Oh, are we taking your car?" "Umm, no we're not taking any car." In less then 30 sec. I knew why he was laughing as he said that.
Very, very odd. There's a small tunnel, about 15m long, that goes all the way up to the sidewalk and sunlight. That and the light from the staircase are the only natural light sources, all the other lights are electric.
The house has been in the family for well over 100 years.
