Fish Crazy
I felt really bad for the fish in my mothers tank, she had two neon tetras, two black skirts, and one Cory catfish. So last night I went out and I bought four neon tetras and another Cory catfish for her tank.
While I was floating the bags in the tank, I noticed in the neon tank that there was something floating around, or so I thought. Turns out I brought home a little fry with me!
I put him in the tank thinking maybe he'll survive, since I know nothing about raising fry. So for he's made it but it's just been a few hours early and he's SUPER TINY!
I have baby fish food but I don't want my other fish to just gobble it up so I just crushed their regular food really super tiny, found where he was, and watched him eat. He seems to eat the really really tiny pieces just fine.
One of the bigger neons went to eat him but he's really super speedy and loses them quickly. Then one of the black skirts went to eat him, he scooted away, and it freaked the black skirt out so he dashed to the other side of the tank, lol. Here's a chance he could actually survive.
Anyways, I have no idea what I have in my hands here! I think the neons were in with the guppies, in which case I'm pretty sure he's a guppy fry. If he does grow, I guess I'll find out. Right now he's just clear and really tiny so you can't really see any fin types.
I'm rooting for the little guy but I have no idea what to do. Just let nature take its course? Please help!
I also apologize for any typos, I'm typing fast on my iPad no it's 2am so I'm pretty tired.
