Blue Panchax fries?

[Barry Tetra]

Hi again, as you might already know that I got lots of Anacharis from a river (which exposed to chemical everyday from clothing facilities) so I found out that there’s some kind of eggs stick to the plants and today, while I was removing the mosquito larvae from a water I found this thing, its looklike a fry (with tails and fin) of killifish because there are lots of Blue Panchax killi in that area, can anybody tell me if it was a fish or some kind of larvae?

any chance of a picture from the side?
trying to identify fish from above is like trying to identify people from the top of their head, it doesn't happen.

@Crispii What should I feed them?

 

[Crispii]

Try feeding BBS. If they don't accept it, then feed them infusoria.

That’s so cool!

Are Blue Panchax in the killifish family?

Yes they are, not only that, fishes in the river including Kubotai rasbora and loaches, killifish can tolerate cloth chemicals from the factory.

Do they need water pump? I dont think I need them cause they live in a river with oil in the water.

All fish need clean water, a filter and some aeration/ surface turbulence, even if you find them in a polluted river.

Is it possible that mosquito larvae will eat the fries?

I do t think so

Is it possible that mosquito larvae will eat the fries?

Yes, big mozzie larvae will eat newly hatched fry and sometimes fish eggs. Dragonfly and damselfly larvae also eat fish and eggs.
