What's The Smallest Fish You Ever Owned?

[The-Wolf]

otocinclus affinis, 1.5 inch adult size.

Dwarf cories (Hastatus, Habrosus, Pygmaeus)

Ember tetra's

had all those but still had smaller
I've kept Boraras merah which is a massive 2CM as adults
however in that batch was a single Boraras micros which reached a whopping 1.3cm
so I think that will take some beating

I was thinking you would have something small, just waited for you to post. That sounds cool, I always wanted Boraras...

I had sparkling gouramis and pygmy cories and they were all teeeeensy

In the same tank or apart?

 

[clutterydrawer]

me? in the same tank. is that acceptable? they all lived happily as far as I could tell.

 

[jourdy288]

It's fine, just wondering.

I once kept a Daphnia alive for a few minutes, does that count? hmmm... maybe not then

Boraras maculatus are the smallest I've kept so far. Adults are supposed to grow to 2.5cm Lovely little fish when in a big shoal (I have nearly 30 of them )

My tanks are actually full of harmless little copepods, the fish love eating them.
