What is the smallest fish that you can put in your aquarium? (juveniles dont count!)

Catalina Gobies are my favorite small fish but they like cooler temps.

Eviota and Trimma gobies probably. Some are around 1/2 the size of clown/neon gobies.

I was also thinking Clown gobies but I also sometimes keep brackish bumblebee gobies in my reef. Bluestriped pipefish would be the skinniest I think

This guy was in our 90. But haven't seen him for a few weeks. Which is normal at times lol

Was sold to us as a Red Pygmy goby, had scientific name but can't remember it.

He was a cool little guy, not sure where he went though. Being in a 90 gal could easily hide. Lol

But last time we saw him in his normal spot for the last few months. He had a white cotton ball little spot on him. I would try and catch him and you would think be fairly easy but he always made it hard. And not wanting to stress him more I just left him. And had it for probably 2 months so not sure if maybe died. Or if our butt head hogfish finally found him, or if may be just found a really good hiding spot!

sounds like he might of had lymphocitis. If so they most usually recover, hopefully it pops back up one day!

I have a bunch of these "Dot" fish. Here is a male, fully grown -------> , <---------:der:I recently took a picture of a school of them in the Caymans and you can see them here getting ready to pounce on that unsuspecting nurse shark, who seems to be trembling in fear.
