Paedocypris progenetica

Unusual pectoral fin

Paedocypris progenetica is the smallest fish in the world at 7.9mm long!  The fish were found on one of Indonesia's islands. The fishes body looks like a larvae. Since its body is so small the head skeleton has been reduced in size. The fish has no bone protection for its brain. The  water is the color as dark tea and has the acidity of Ph3 which is around 100 times more acid as rain water! But, sadly there swamps have been threatened by large forest fires long ago, and resent logging around the swamp.  Since this has happened several populations have been lost.

Meyer Lemon

        Meyer Lemon is a fruit in the citrus family.  This tree is native to China. In China they sometimes put the tree in a pot as a ornamental plant. The USA was the first country to actually used the fruit for food! The
Meyer Lemon is a cross between a lemon and either an orange or a Clementine . That cross between fruits gives it a more sweet taste then a regular lemon. When it is time for the tree to flower it is quite easy to identify. The plants flower is a bright purple and white. You can be about a foot away and be able to smell a Meyer Lemon tree full of flowers. The smell can also easily fill up a room with the fragrant smell.
