I would be weary about keeping it with small fry, it looks carnivorous

Of course its carnivorous, its a spider Water spiders will catch and eat any small fish they can catch but are you sure its a water spider and not just a normal spider that has decided to make a web in the nice warm hood of your tank.

Does that help a little, it does look alot like the one on google

I don't have a hood on the 90, just the New DIY Luminaire i built

It looks like its just a common garden spider thats made its home in there, water spiders have a more elongate abdomen and longer legs.
