Id This Baby Fish Please

[black angel]

My friend sent me a pic of this baby fish she found behind her filter and its got us both stumped as to what it is.
Its only a few mm long. She totally stripped the tank when she lost her goldfish and changed to tropicals. The fish have only been in the tank a couple of weeks at most.
She has, neons, danios, platy, and cory cats.
I can rule out the danio, neon and cats but it just doesnt have the shape of a platy.Maybe it was a hitchhiker in the bag, we just dont know.
Can anyone help??

i really dont know i'v never seen one like that before Has she seperated it from out the main tank though??

 

[guppy_man]

i would of thought it was a platy because i had one just like that but yellow and black, its the shape of a goby lol

im not quite sure but i would say it was a platy

 

[MasterP]

it looks like a babay goldfish was left in the tank, but the next closes thing would be a danio.

 

[Durbkat]

It looks like a mix of a platy and a cory.

I would say it is a goldfish, a common one at that too;
however only time will tell for sure

If She had Platy's then thats what I would say it is, a baby platy at that size wouldnt have the body shape of an adult. If it was a baby goldfish it wouldnt or shouldnt be orange at that size it should still be brown.

Thanks everyone for the replies.
I doubt its goldfish either as they are brown when tiny but it just seems an odd shape for a platy.
Dont suppose anyone has a good clear pic of a tiny platy have they?
Its still in the main tank as she has nowhere else for it to go.

I am going to say that it is sometype of a Goby. Time will tell though!

Those are the only 2 I have. However, looking at that picture...it looks nothing like a Platy fry to me.

Where abouts is the mouth situated. upward.. mid....downward.

P.S. another pic would be ideal, in a clear glass receptical ie:jam-jar.

yea if the mouth is at the bottom it could be a goldfish.. top = platy... but it's hard to say.. looks like a feeder fish to me.

 

[bleechme]

I can't say anything But I would like to know what it is when you figure it out?

feeders = goldys?

 

[black angel]

Yes, a feeder is a goldfish.
It just doesnt look like a platy and she bleached the tank and got new gravel and filter sponge when the goldies all died.
Ive asked her to catch it and get a couple more pics so she is going to try that today.
