Gee, Ken. That was fast. Yes, as far as I can tell, the minnows exhibits the
greatest size range -- length, not necessarily absolute size -- among
fishes.
The golden mahseer, Tor putitora, of Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nepal and
Bangladesh measures in at 2.7 m. (Catlocarpio siamensis of Thailand may grow
to 3 m, but I haven't seen this confirmed.)
Danionella translucida of Burma maxes out at 12.2 mm, making it the smallest
freshwater fish in the world.
> OK, I'm perplexed... are you sure the 223X is correct ?!
My math skills fail me again!
Tor putitora is 221x longer than Danionella translucida.
