Bender Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I bought some plants at the QFAS auction on Saturday night, and it seams I also bought a little fish as well! This tiny fry showed up in my tank yesterday. As all the plants I bought were only damp, not in water, I feel this little lad must have been just an egg when he came home with me. It is so very small, I had no end of trouble trying to take a clear pic, but here are the best shots I got. The first three are cropped the last is the full shot to show size, it's in a scotch glass. I don't know if you'll be able to see it, but it's shaped differently to a betta with a defined head and body already, and it's mouth opens up way back on the head. I've given it infusoria and green water, and that is definitely what it's made to eat, I can see it tracking down the little critters and gobbling them up! I've assumed it is a warm water fish, and left it in a container floating in my barb tank. I've been looking, but I can't find any more of these, and with the barbs and the glass shrimp in there, it is a miracle I saw this guy before they did! Anyone game to hazard a guess? I bought red and green crispus, bulbitis, miniature chain sword, and one rock with attached christmas moss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishchick Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 most likely came in on the Christmas moss. Possibly blue eye or rainbow. Cheers, someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Sadly the little one died, so we'll never know. Still it's kind of cool to have had a stow away anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
