Last week saw the announcement that the world's tiniest fish and vertebrate had been found, measuring a mere 7.9mm.

Miniscule though this may seem, two other fish reported in the past couple of years claim to be smaller still.

Imagine trying to keep that new fish alive. I've heard of folks attaining a pH of below five in fish tanks, but three is something else altogether.



And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

That would be difficult...
But what I would like to know is how on earth they found them in the first place!!! If they were as small as they claim to be, they must have had a hell of a time finding them!!!:
