No, I don't believe in spontaneous generation.....but, I need your help.
Just set up a 30 Breeder hard water tank two weeks ago...have a good setup for such a small tank but all was new and I figured I didn't need to quarantine as we are starting from scratch....
Well, some of the plants must have had fish eggs on them, because a hatching has occurred. Fry are clear with small dark spots on then ventral rear, but I'm not able to determine species at this time. Fry are approximately 1/16th of an inch so they have been there a while. I can see at least 10.
Does anyone have suggestions on management of fry that you don't know what the species is yet? This has never happened to me.
But a blessing for sure, it will be interesting to see what I have and if I can keep them successfully.
