smallest fish possible

gil_ong · 07-09-2008, 02:56 PM

hey guys,

just as a hypothetical exercise, what is the smallest fish readily or fairly readily available out there?

**lohachata** · 07-09-2008, 03:04 PM

there are a few of the rasbora species that stay under 1.5".also some of the rainbows that are really small;often available,and not too expensive..threadfins are one of my favorites.

gil_ong · 07-09-2008, 03:07 PM

thanks, John.

BTW, no Cleveland for me this weekend.

can/will your "supplier" ship?

emc7 · 07-09-2008, 03:27 PM

heterandia formosa. There are smaller fish, but they are hard to find.

karazy · 07-09-2008, 03:36 PM

neolamprolugus multifasciatus only get to bout max 2 inches...

emc7 · 07-09-2008, 04:19 PM

The are lots of little killies, too. Check aquabid.

white clouds are small..

MaelStrom · 07-09-2008, 08:07 PM

Dwarf puffers are tiny

Ghost Knife · 07-10-2008, 07:58 AM

The Red Glofish don't get over 1-1.5" and the Zebra Danios stay under 1.5". The Serpae Tetras also max out around 1.5".

trashion · 07-10-2008, 08:40 AM

I've seen white clouds over an inch. Probably the Celestial Pearl Danio is the smallest fish kept in the aquarium trade.

Ocellaris><>! · 07-10-2008, 12:20 PM

emc7 · 07-10-2008, 12:51 PM

The shipping is usually pretty high, but they're certainly worth looking at, even if it's just for ideas.
