| 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. More further reaserch:
Very interesting. Never heard of that one.
