Scientists have discovered the world’s smallest fish on record in an
acidic peat swamp in Indonesia, with a see-through body and a head that is unprotected by a skeleton, researchers said Wednesday. Mature females of the Paedocypris progenetica, a member of the carp family, only grow to 7.9 millimeters (0.31 inches) and the males have enlarged pelvic fins and exceptionally large muscles that may be used to grasp the females during copulation, researchers wrote in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, published Wednesday by the Royal Society in London. Amazing news. Paedocypris progenetica, the world's smallest fish on record “This is one of the strangest fish that I’ve seen in my whole career,’ said Ralf Britz, zoologist at the Natural History Museum in London, who helped analyze the fish’s skeleton. “It’s tiny, it lives in acid and it has these bizarre grasping fins. I hope we’ll have time to find out more about them before their habitat disappears completely.” http://e-fishingnews.com/amazing/594 |

Nothing but spam. What part of "fishing" and "sal****er" do you not understand ? You last posted about a FRESHWATER catfish with information that was 3 years old. Now you post about a tiny fish found in peat bogs. It isn't even bait. Nothing but spam to increase hits and revenue for all that advertisement on that POS web site!
