What Are Stubbies?
Occasionally we will discover dwarf fish in the production tanks. We call them “Stubbies.” These perfectly healthy but admittedly deformed fish usually don’t reach full size. Many people consider them as defective but some people (including certain sales staff members) absolutely adore them. It is thought that these fish are born lacking the usual number of vertebrate in the spine, giving them a short body. Limited quantities are usually available.
