anyone any idea

Could be a platty. Is it bigger than the other fishes mouths? If so it stands a fair chance.

If you can get a picture of the fry it will help a lot. I think the fry would be able to survive. You got some peaceful fish in the tank.

1) dont kno how old it is as u don't kno wot fish it is yet. How many male platys are there? That could get you an idea of who it's from because for comfortable breeding from the platys, there should be around twice as many males as females.
2) it should survive if it has this long to get to 3/4 of an inch.

I don't get this

For comfortable breeding (as in, the females having a nice time) there should be twice as many FEMALES as males. But this is not to say that these are the only circumstances under which platies will breed.

I would say, if ever a female has been near a male (or two males, or a hundred males), within the last 7 months-THOSE are the circumstances under which you may expect to find platy fry in your tank. The only circumstances under which you may NOT expect to find platy fry in your tank is:
i. If you have male platies only.
ii. If you have no platies at all!

However, in this case there is the added complication of endlers in the tank- and endlers are also livebearers, so more or less the same conditions apply.

Cories is another possibility, but then you must have both sexes in the tank.

Oh go on, post us a pic!
