The pygmy hatchetfish, Carnegiella myersi, is a tiny freshwater hatchetfish from the Peruvian Amazon basin, with a second population in Bolivia. The smallest and most delicate of the nominal hatchetfishes, it has a shallower, rounded keel that gives it an elongate profile. It lives in small, shaded, shallow forest streams and must be kept in a group of at least six, away from active tankmates.

The tail-spot pygmy cory, Gastrodermus hastatus, long known as Corydoras hastatus, is a tiny armoured catfish with a wide range across the Amazon and Río Paraguay basins. It is known from Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and northeastern Argentina. Unlike most congeners it swims in midwater, forming mixed schools with similarly patterned small characids such as Serrapinnus kriegi. It is frequently confused with G. pygmaeus, but has a dark, roughly diamond-shaped spot on the caudal peduncle where G. pygmaeus has a dark lateral stripe.
