Fry identification

[chrispp]

Hi there, we bought a few nerite snails and endler's guppies to our planted tank a week ago. Then to our surprise, we found a fry yesterday.
We don't have female guppies in the tank so we think this could be a hitchhiker that came with either the snails or the plants.

Does anyone know what breed this is?

Thanks!

It's hard to tell at that age but it looks very similar to the Gelius barbs I used to breed. They are a beautiful, peaceful little barb that's a nano fish, so could have been kept with endlers at the shop.

Hi all,

Gelius barbs I used to breed

I think it looks like a Cyprinid <"Cyprinidae - Wikipedia"> fry as well.

That was my thought too, looks like a tiny gelius Barb.

Thanks all. I'll put up another photo next week when it gets a little bit bigger.

Just read up on the Gelius Barb, apparently they prefer water ph5.5 - 7.0 but my endlers guppies prefer alkaline water.
Can they go in the same tank together or should rehome it?

Did you notice at all if there were there Guppys and Dwarf Golden Barbs in the same tank where you purchased them from?
