Mystery fish of the day........

[matildanz]

And no it's not some dodgy fish and chip shop!!

Had all the good intentions of emptying out my unused tank that's currently growing a good crop of snails last weekend but never got around to it. While at home for lunch our daughter noticed a sole fry swimming around! No idea what it is, may be more but so far I've only seen the one. Turned the heater back on - not sure what to do about the filter - don't want to suck the little beggar up! I guess it came with the ambulia from the big tank.

:bounce:

He's definitely free swimming, swims faster than I can focus the camera! Measures at a guess around 7-8mm. From the look of his stomach, he's obviously finding things to scoff, so I'm not too worried about feeding him at the moment, although advice on what to feed when he gets a bit bigger would be much appreciated!

So without further ado..... here's the little chap/ess

Sorry about the crud pics.

Any ideas on what he/she might be? Current fish are Rainbows, Black neons and standard blue neons - I've discounted the clowns, zebra loaches, GBA's and Kuhli's Although from what I've gleaned off the internet, the neons don't have sticky eggs................?? Rainbow maybe? All very exciting although I'll probably kill it with kindness now I know it's there! :roll:

I would go with the rainbows too. I have come across many of their fry this way too.

I agree with Antwan on that one.

No doubt all his siblings were! The only reason he's escaped their fate is that he stowed away on the weed!!
