Smallest fish you’ve kept?

[Wolf89]

I think aquarium depot or one of those used to sell them by the 5 or 10. You just gotta keep an eye out. I see them once a year or so. Also see Pygmy Dart goby once in a blue moon. But you have to have 5 or 10 min. Sorry not more help

How much do they go for

I’ve always been a fan of small fish. It’s just more aesthetically pleasing to me. And I always under stock. But everyone reefs in their own way

Probably my little snowflake occ clownfish. It was only about an inch and a half when I had it. Obnoxious little jerk too.

Pair of Flaming Prawn gobies, the female was smaller. Then probably my yellow neon gobies, a green banded, and then a bit chunkier than the neons, white spot dwarf/trimma goby.

I love gobies! They may be small but they can be very colorful and full of personality.

I had a pair of blue neon gobies. Did not have overflow or sump . Cool looking little fish. Would not keep fish that small in current tank with overflow. I don’t know why fish are attracted to overflows but they are and if small enough they take the plunge. Kind of like a fishy water slide!

 

[DeniseAndy]

That’s awesome! Were you able to raise the offspring?

I never tried. But they laid between January and August every week or so. Then would stop for that few months and begin again. Loved these guys. Had them about 5 years until female got egg bound somehow and male went nuts without her.

 

[DeniseAndy]

I love the tiny fishes too. In my 6g you actually get to see them. i have not had the little clown gobies since moving away from sps. I have wanted the pygmy dart gobies forever!!! Cannot find them.

 

[sabor]

Neon goby. The fish was like .5” when I got it.

Smallest fish I’ve had and still have is a citrinis clown goby, he is fully grown. I do have another small fish a rainforest goby who is still very young but will grow bigger then my clown goby

 

[DeniseAndy]

I love my neon goby. It is also in my 6g and is alway out around and happy. It is tiny, and the kids I bring the tank to absolutely love it. They call it Dory, so guess that works.
It is super fat too. Big old belly. Eats anything.
