Just wondering what other small fish there are out there that are fun to keep (and breed).

I have dwarf puffers and pygmy cory cats, and I really love both types of fish. I also would like to breed both types someday. I just really like little fish like that, have never been a fan of larger ones.

What are some other neat little fish that would be fun to keep as well as try to breed? I was thinking maybe bumblebee gobies or something like that. I don't really want any "normal" fish like guppies or tetras, but more of the unique, "oddball" types. Any other ideas (fresh, brackish or salt)?

Halfbeaks are very interesting fish :)

I also like the Killifish suggestion. Perhaps some Apistogramma species, or maybe scarlet badis?

All small and "neat" IMO.

yes agree on the killifish... most are very small and there are hundereds of different species.

check out any killifish association web pages for numerous photos and info...

i reccomend northobranchius... although they are annual. they are neat to breed because you must dry out thier eggs in order for them to hatch. wow!
;)

very colorful too

neolamprologus multifasciatus (multi's) shelldwelling cichlids from lake tanganyika. males only reach a little over 1", females about 3/4" and have tons of character, moving sand around to make their shell "comfy". Guarding their shell and territory around it to keep their babies safe from intruders. go read up on them, I think you'll like them as much as I do. Kyle

Thanks for all the replies so far :)

I checked out some killifish tonight at the LFS and I really, really like them. They are such gorgeous little things!

I'm interested to learn more about these shell-dwelling cichlids as I've heard others talk about them. I will have to go research them :)
