Album Info:
Lake Buhi is famous for its tiny inhabitants, the goby fish "sinarapan" (Mistichthys luzonensis). Contrary to common belief, however, sinarapan is not the smallest fish known. Another goby, "tabios" or dwarf pygmy goby (Pandaka pygmaea), also found in the Philippines (rivers of Malabon, Rizal & Palawan) and Indonesia, is the smallest known vertebrate and, like its cousins in Lake Buhi, are an endangered species. [Sinarapan are a type of goby and they are transparent, except for the black eyes. The fish have an average length of 12.5 millimeters. Males are smaller than females.~~~Taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinarapan]
