I have had 10 celestrial pearl danios in my tank for over a year with golden barbs,killifish,zebra danios,rumy nose tetras,cherry barbs and cherry shrimp and had no ploblems with them but mine are closer to a inch.

Thanks for all the input everyone. I have decided to try the shrimp, I have three Red Cherry Shrimp in there now. So far I think they are doing well, I havent seen any of them for a few days but I have high hopes.

Small can take some looking, and you may have to order from specialty dealers.
H amandae, sometimes sold as fire tetras, are beautiful and under an inch. Pseudepiplatys annulatus, the rocket killie, is a fantastic tiny surface hugger. My local stores get them.
Any of the little Bororas species in the rasbora family would be perfect, colorful miniatures. Rasbora maculata, or Bororas maculatus is one I have seen locally, occasionally, and it is an absolute beauty. You'd need a good shop to see it, but it is a great fish.
Neolebias ansorgi is tiny, as are jellybean tetras - both West African but uncommon.
Sparkling gouramis top out aat an inch and are very pretty. neat behavior too.

I have several very small fish - a single male scarlet badis and two (soon to be more) emerald dwarf rasboras. I have tried keeping galaxies/celestial pearls and here's my take on all of them:

Any fish that small is VERY delicate, often wild caught, very expensive (relatively), and difficult to keep. Almost all of them fresh from the store are accustomed to live food and have to be "trained" to flake food. As a result, my attrition rate in keeping dwarf fish has been very high. Of all 10 of my galaxies, all were dead within two weeks (with drip acclimation, mind you), and of my original 6 emerald dwarves, only 2 remain 2 years later. The scarlet badis has proved to be very hardy, aggressive, and very enjoyable, but from what I have read you can only keep one male in a tank (unless it's a BIG tank), and the females are not only fairly drab but they are hard to acquire here in the US.

Just my thoughts & experiences...

Officially fishless until after the move....tune in later for details!

celestial pearls have come along way in the captive bred market..they are pretty hardy these days..wild caughts i would say yes delicate, but captive bred i would have to say they are pretty hardy..i had 10 and i am down to 7 but thats because of my own ignorance and didnt have a cover on the tank..hence the flying danio..since the cover ive had no problems.all are eating flake and i even have a pair ready to spawn very soon.. if they havent already...
