Dont quote me but i would assume that any small fish would be a light snack, people have got away with it that i have seen personally even with shrimps, but id steer away from such, you'd have a better chance with a small zebra moray, or even a banded eel liek i have, shes kool with anythin, and i have 3 fish in the tank bout the size of a 5p, kool with hermits too.. just a thought :)

oops re-read again, you could be ok with a "tiny baby" depends on the fish itself i reckon :)

i think you would be better off lee with a small zebra moray which are quite peaceful towards fish.derek
