Was doing a partial water change when I saw several of these little guys in the gravel. They are about a quarter of an inch and look just like some of the tetras I have in there. The gravel is large so they were able to hide in it.

Several different kinds of tetras and some Corys. I hope some of these little guys can live.
 
While they arent tetras, I had a pair of Rosy Barbs breed long ago in a tank I no longer have setup. There was an undergravel filter in the tank, and one day I found a small Rosy Barb around an inch long in one of the tubes. What must have happened is that he lived in darkness and survived by eating his siblings :crazy: and nothing but his siblings :crazy: :crazy: His gill plates were mutated, and I noticed that he was a very aggressive barb. That is, until a breeding pair of convicts tore 'im to bits... he was just to damn aggressive for the cummunity tank... :grr:

The moral of the story is that fish fry can survive against all odds.
