I know the stout infantfish is the smallest fish ever, but do they school....hmmmm?

Probably neon tetras? They stay small...

Schooling is a defence mechanisum of small fish, so its likely the smallest fish is a schooling fish, or at least one of the smallest fish is a schooling fish.. HTH

yeah i would of thoght the neon tetra would be one of the smallest tropical schooling fish

I googled that infantfish, that thing is tiny.

freshwater goby? (smallest freshwater tropical fish?)

 

[talloulou]

the dwarf goby is the second smallest fish species. It was the smallest until the infantfish was discovered. This site has some cool pics of both fish.

that Stout Infantfish has got to b the wolrds ugliest fish fish. its so small so the Nemo and his freinds dont laugh at how retarded it looks. haha

i wonder what kind of diet they would have :?

The pygmy rasbora (Boraras maculatus) looks to be one of the smallest schooling fish (and still has some color)... 3/4 of an inch..
The freshwater goby (I dont know the tox. name) is supose to only get 1/3 of an inch and I havnt a clue if its a schooling fish.. HTH

talloulou.. I think the question was for freshwater fish.. both the infantfish and the dwarf goby are reef fish (SW)..
