tiny weeny blue fish
For all those familiar with Med diving........

A couple of days ago we saw two shoals of very very small electic blue fish, they looked the size of fry but are apparently adults. No one here knows their name.... they are about a milimetre or smaller in length. They swim up to your mask and see their reflection and fight themselves in your lenses!!!!

Does anyone know the name of these very cute critters?? They were too small and too fast to capture on macro

Definitely an adult?

Are you sure they're not something like juvenile Blue Chromis?

we have seen their babies and they are even tinier!!!!!! We are sure they are adults, other experienced med divers have agreed but none of us know their names. And no, we are not narked.

ok,

you said in the first post the size was a millimeter or smaller... are you sure? That's absolutely tiny.
