Who is the smallest fish in the world?


Last week on our show we heard a story about the world's smallest fish, which measured a minuscule 7.9 millimetres long. We spoke to the man who discovered said fish, Dr. Ralf Britz at the Natural History Museum in London, England. But it seems Dr. Britz's tiny fish can't hold the tiniest title for long. Professor Ted Pietsch at the University of Washington says he discovered the world's smallest fish last year - and his fish is a mere 6.2mm long. We reached Ted Pietsch in Seattle.
