How low can it go?

What do you think the lowest pH is that a fish can live in? 6? Maybe 5.5? What about 3? Yep, it's true. There is a fish that lives in water with a pH of 3. It is also the worlds smallest fish. You can read about it at http://www.comcast.net/news/science/ind ... 11616.html

Thought I was joking, huh? :D

[Moderator's note]

I have merged two separate topics on what was the same subject (the world's smallest vertebrate - Paedocypris) into one.

If you are going to post on this subject, please do so in this thread.

[End moderator's note]

To make this vaguely catfish-related, this is the same biotope as one would find and .

Hey,

Both fish you mentioned Silurus are rather small is this that strange, acid environment what makes fish not too big?

Regards.
