If there is life on that moon (which I certainly think there probably is)... it would not be the type of life that depends on the sun for photo synthesis.. but is probably more based on volcanic gases, and vents.. much like the unique life that can be found with in deep water volcanic vents here on earth. how any of that effects the development of more complex life like fish, is beyond my understanding.. but I have a feeling would have a fairly large impact.

I read that there may be pockets of water only several meters under the ice.
But i too think it may just be very simple life there. But there is always the chance.
There is other solar systems out their that have a sun with planets around it. All it takes it the right properties on the planet and there could very well be life. But what are the chances of intelligence like ours? I mean how many species of life are on our planet and their is only one which has intelligence like ours. For all we know the planet that sustains like is full of dogs and cats.
