Ok, so I'm the one that wrote about the leech type thing I found in my tank yesterday, right? Well, today, I had a friend over and we were gazing at my tank, and what do I see, but........
FISH!!!!!!!!!! FISH I DID NOT PUT IN THERE!!!!!!!!!!! Omgosh I almost had a heart attack! My tank has been set up for a little over a month, and the first thing I put in there was a whole bunch of plants I ordered online. Since then, I have a tankful of pond snails (hitched a ride on the plants), a leech type thing, and NOW, FISH!!!!!!!!! There are TWO, schooling type fish in my tank!!!
The only thing I can figure is that there were fish EGGS on my plants as well, and they have since hatched! Is this possible?? They have survived one hell of a journey if it is. I had the plants in the tank for TWO WEEKS without even a heater. I am still in shock, in case you didn't notice. LOL
So NOW, I don't even know what kind of fish these are, or what kind of conditions they require - obviously not too much care though. LOL Also, I didn't plan on tropical fish in general - I keep bettas and puffers - both types that don't necessarily get along with others well. :: sigh ::
Once again will you all help me identify this living creature? They look like zebra danios to a degree, but I'm leaning more toward minnows?? Their fins are clear, with a tinge of yellow, and they obviously have a stripe down their body horozontally. I caught them (fast lil suckers), and put them in a container to feed them (they LOVED the microworms!). Thank you!
