Reply To: Mysterious fry appear in tank with no adults!

If I can get any decent photos of the potential lovebirds in the community tank, I’ll post them. The rainbows are nearly full size — I’d guess 2.5-3 inches (red-finned male is bigger, and quite taller/deeper than the yellow-finned female). CPDs are out of the question — not in either the community tank or the 6-gallon with the mystery fry. If cardinals are a real bugger to breed, then we’re down to hatchets, rainbows, or loaches. The mystery fry are actually a bit smaller than CPD fry, if you can believe that. Still clear/translucent. More news once they’re big enough to watch for more than a few seconds without eye strain!
