Paedocyprisis only 7.9mm long

If the definition of the smallest species, means the shortest, then the newly described Paedocypris progenetica may take the title, at least for females. This tiny carp relative that lives in peat swamp forests of Sumatra was described by Kottelat, Britz, Tan and Witte (see ‘Further Reading’) in a paper published in 2005. The species reaches a maximum size of 10.3 mm with females reaching maturity at 7.9 mm.

Ted Pietsch of the University of Washington, however, believes that the title of the world’s smallest fish belongs to Photocorynus spiniceps . Males of this deepsea anglerfish are parasitic on the much larger female. A 6.2 mm mature male attached to a 46 mm female was found by Pietsch in the Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection (Pietsch, 2005).

The Paedocypris genus can be just 7.9mm long at maturity, scientists write in a journal published by the UK's Royal Society.

But they warn long-term prospects for the fish are poor, because of rapid destruction of Indonesian peat swamps.

The fish have to survive in pools of acid water in a tropical forest swamp.
