Tiny fish

Does anyone know of fish that grow to only about half or 3/4 of an inch, preferrably schooling?

Neon tetras and I think cardinal tetras. Anyone know some others, I'm interested also?

The Pygmy cory (Corydoras pygmaeus) only gets to an inch in length. They are a mid-water schooling fish.

How about the Bolivian pygmy blue characin, Xenurobrycon polyancistrus? They reach only ½" in length.

Can't really think of any that size...

...I was also thinking Neons and maybe White Cloud Mountain Minnows, but those both exceed 1 inch as adults.

Maybe some Dwarf Rasboras? They grow to a max of 1 inch. That's close....

Xenurobrycon polyancistrus? dwarf rasboras? I've never heard of em. I've heard of micro-rasboras, but from what I've seen online, they get to be longer than an inch as well. I think all the tetras get to about 1+ inches in adult size. I guess it's time to go surfing.
