- tripm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I blew the image up 2000% in photoshop, and it has a goldenpalace.com ad on it's spine!
- invader, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3>one word: sperm.
umm.. i think they said they found it "in sumatra", not "by using kama sutra" - yukevster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"Now I have an excuse to use my tiny rod and reel!"
@splitsixty ok, you said it. From now on you shall be known as.......
'splitsixty', the one with the tiny rod. - tanz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2any ideas what it tastes like??..... does it go well with chips?
- jord, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2that's deep
- littleidiot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1the ones i normally catch when i go fishing are smaller than that...LOL
- yukevster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"pee-pee hole" ??
How old are you young man?? Shouldn't you be in bed right now? - laplacian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The fish looks just like a human finger. weird.
- akh1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yet this fish is smaller :

haa haa ha! English or from down-under??
I'd love some Fish'nChips right now even a little bugger like this....
Can't get F'n C in Japan :( - pacoto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Click on magnify, the image shows even smaller, huh?
- nicheplayer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0So while we were sitting around reading Digg last week, some scientist was swimming around in a peat bog in Sumatra. Just...wild.
- bunzai, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0perhpas it was just a recent hatchling and it will actually grow to about 3 feet? Who you calling small?
- yukevster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That's all I've been catching recently too, maybe I should start using bigger hooks...?
- orb_nsc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Those must be tough little dudes...imagine trying to swim through thick, muddy water when you're only a couple millimeters long, and your dorsal fin is just a fraction of that....
- tripm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0makes a nice sammich.
a nice sammich. - MadMan459, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I just sent that link to my sister... she's an aquatic biologist down at KU (University of Kansas) - and commented that these little suckers would need some mighty finely ground breading. Get about 10,000 of them together and you'd have ... a bowl of fish flavored rice basically.
cool find though. digg + - BugMeNot2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0MIDGET.
- splitsixty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Now I have an excuse to use my tiny rod and reel!
- trqy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0added one to my wishlist.
- yukevster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Imagine GUTTING these lil' fellas... you'd need a pretty tiny knife and a magnafied glass...
*Now close your eyes...and try, really try to imagine this scene... :) - antipro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0that fish seems dangerous.
imagine it getting lodged in your Urethra. - redwards, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0are those the ones that swim up your peehole and stick barbs out? ...or was that just a movie...
- tanz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@ yukevster im from the UK
and
@ thenativeraver crackers? you would need alot of them, or might go well between 2 crums.
But I guess once you take away the bits you dont want then your not left with much...... - toran, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1one word: sperm.
- thenativeraver, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@tanz
I was just thinking the same thing.
but I would eat it with crackers! :-D - Gatesophile, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0dude, i hate disgusting close ups of fingers. lmao
- Nobi-Wan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I don't know about cute...it kind of looks as if it's about to burrow itself into the guy's finger and infect his blood with millions of baby fish.
- kingeider, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0even i could eat that whole!
King Eider - donolsen1155, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Pretty cool.
Anybody notice that the enlarged photo is actually a smaller picture of the the fish? Apparently you may want a bigger picture of the finger for some reason. - UnclePunk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I thought the world's smallest fish was in Kevin Rose's pants...
- Bretso, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Yet this fish is smaller :
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3920183.stm"
WTF? I'm really losing faith in the BBC. They can't remember running an article in 2004 with an even smaller fish? Fact checking has obviously been abandoned by most media outlets.
Dig for a cool article though. - papaz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Somebody quick ! stick that lil guy in your ear and tune into some foreign channel...we may have found proof that God doesnt exist !!!
- crossers, on 07/21/2008, -0/+0Individuals of the Paedocypris genus can be just 7.9mm long at maturity, scientists write in a journal published by the UK's Royal Society.
fantastic article!

- colinemckay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0BBC just emailed me:
Many thanks for getting in touch and pointing out an earlier story on a
fish that measured 7mm. We have amended the story to highlight the fact
that it is one of the smallest fish on record.
Thanks again for taking the time to write to us.

The opening paragraph now reads:
"Researchers have found one of the smallest known fish on record in the peat swamps of the Indonesian island of Sumatra."
I'm not sure if they made any other changes. - carpespasm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0wow. any chance of a yellow relative with a penchant for living in one's ear?
- kingeider, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://mercury.bio.uaf.edu/~steffen_oppel/kingeider/KIEI_Home.htm
- colinemckay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Bresto --
I forwarded the old link to the smaller fish to the BBC. This was their reply:
Thanks very much for your message. How we could have missed this is
beyond me, and I'm very grateful to you for pointing it out. The recent
story will be amended shortly.

Quick response and classy answer on their part, IMO. - deepsub, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That's old news...
Loot at this! It just came out...
introducing the iFish Pequeño. It's so small, it doesn't exist. - eddieo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Might just be a Goa'uld for midgets.
- recover82, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0the enlarged picture shows disgusting detail of that guys finger. very gross.
- mogebier, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0How many of those would it take for me to make a meal???
And I love how the bleeding heart tree-huggers had to get a jab in about us Humans killing them off.
I am not for the slaughtering of things for no purpose, but if they stand in the way of progress, then they were not meant to survive in the grand scheme of things.
Suck it, tree-huggers. - blackb0x, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I think those must be the ones that swim up your pee-pee hole.
- SnowballDotBe, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0One fish to another: "Size doesn't matter" ;-)
Joking:p
