Smallest Marine Fishes

We had one of those assessors that swam upside down. It was like that for 6 months. It would come out and eat. It was healthy...just swam upside down. We actually had two of them and only one did that. Totally bizarre. I was very worried about him having some sort of swim bladder issue or something (I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to fish anatomy/physiology) but he was fine.

How does that scenario play out exactly? They don't stay babies forever. :hmm3:
It's really too bad that more fish don't stay little.
 
I am actually planning on doing something similar - tons of small fish and 2 larger ones (Still only 5inches or so)

Seconding what has already been mentioned - but these are some of my favorites :)

There is a whole slew of gobies that I have seen that stay small - but they have common names that aren't ... that common (Ex. Red Glass Goby - there is nothing that looks like them by that name). I'll check on them the next day it is slow at work :)
