Default Smallest Aquarium Fishes

Hi guys, what's the smallest fish that's being sold in LFS? The only ones I'm aware of are neon tetras which are about 1inch, is there any other fish around this length or smaller? Ottos?

I love small fish! haha

smallest fishes i can think of

- galaxy rasboras
- lampeye killifish (various, grow to around 2cm or less)
- some species of wild betta, grows to around 5cm but they're really skinny and small-looking. (can't recall the name) edit: betta rutilans. might be difficult to get because they're now endangered. x.x

The Boraras species should be among the smallest aquarium fishes... there are several species out there in the market. All VERY small... 1.5 to maybe 2cm max.
