    Yup the name of the place is THAT AQUARIUM. Saw this 2 days ago.

    First time I've seen these little fellas...thought it was a joke... saw a plastic bag floating in their crs tank marked 'RUBY RED RASBORA' ... at first all I saw was light brown flecs of debris that comes with fish water....then I saw it.... 10 of them on the bottom of the bag...they looked like... little red dash marks with eyes on them!!! It was freaking weird!! These are the smallest colored fish, from memory I think they were just 5 MM long! That is not a typo either millimeters. Wow a fish for the truely NANO freshwater tank! IMO though, they look so fragile crs might even attack them! Yeah; should have taken a picture but didn't. Just thought I'd share an interesting 'sighting'.

    They are the smallest freshwater fish isn't it?
    Saw a bag of them in C328 counter not long ago either. They don't seem to school much, do they?

    actually said to be the smallest vertebrate.
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    Wow, with something like that, I wonder what the heck you'd feed em? I'm not even sure powdered fry food's small enough... seriously! Maybe just really old pond water with infusoria? Any ideas? Just curious... my boraras briggittae would probably hunt them for fun ...lol.
