Fish don't get more nano than recently hatched ones. Here are three I just took photos of (baby pictures, awwww) in the fishroom.

First up, MIcroctenopoma congicum, a couple of weeks old.

Second - Pristella maxillariis tetras, under 3 weeks and growing well.

Finally, a couple of days old Royal Farlowella, Sturisomatichthys aureum.

Okay, they won't stay small forever, but for now, they are very micro.

I enjoy watching their shapes. The Microctenopoma began as little round dots, the Pristella tetras were slivers, now developing rounder bodies, and the Sturisoma developed in large transparent eggs, coming out as miniature copies of their complicated looking parents.
 
I find this cool. It's a few days after the first photos, and the Pristella maxillaris are a bit over 3 weeks. Once you get past the brine shrimp pot bellies, look at how the dorsal already signals it's a Pristella. That's cute, but earlier than I expected.
