    Hi,

    I've never seen these fish in our LFS before. Said to be the world's smallest fish. This is how it looks like;

    Not your typical aquarium fish because they are so small that I doubt you would want them to become tasty snacks for other fishes.

    Read this thread here. Someone kept them a few years back, which makes it a possibility to see these fish hitting our shores again.
    Currently keeping large predatory fish 🐟

    These critters are fragile and not easy to maintain in a standard aquarium without some serious effort. My friend up north in Penang caught a related species from a swamp on the island, and none of them made it home alive, even though they were handled gently and were given the best possible care in transit and back at home. They are just like those Glass Gobies. Nice to look at but difficult to rear.
    Fish.. Simply Irresistable
    Back to Killies... slowly.
