Good evening all. This fish, "Liza," simply appeared about 4 months ago as an 1/4" long fry in our well-planted yet tiny 5 gallon tank. I've been assuming that Liza was an extremely lucky offspring of our somewhat less than purebred three danios karthit ("fire ring danios"). This fish is now about an inch long, is docile and sociable, seems uninterested in fry food (have only tried HBH Baby Bites so far) or flake food, is content to nibble at the base of the many live plants in the tank, and would much rather hang out with the pair of crossocheilus siamensis we got shortly after Liza appeared. There are no other fish in the tank. In short, she is not acting like a danio, and growth seems to have slowed down as well, raising the distant possibility that she is some other kind of fish whose egg traveled to us as a stowaway on one of the plants we put in the aquarium about 6 weeks before her arrival. Can anyone positively ID Liza? Also, I'd appreciate anyone's recommendation on a better fry food. Many thanks.
