Show me your favourite mini BEASTS...

[Osteoglossidae]

Post any of your smaller species from any forum... so many great smaller fish that need some exposure!

I will start with 2 of my male 5 star general, they are awesome, they are piscivores (eat other fish) and ive heard they are used to keep tilapia numbers in check. i have 6 in a 100g all +/- 10cm !-) they max out at 6 inch and are true terrors in little packages, i assumed i could keep 9 large quick tiger barbs with them and lost 8 over night with some chewed in half... wrong decision but cool fish!
