White Cloud or Rice Fish Fry?

Recommended Posts

My pond has ricefish and white clouds.  I recently found a bunch of fry, but don't really know which fish they're from though I suspect its the white clouds since the ricefish have had a rough start in the tub pond.

 

The fry are all the size of mature mosquito larvae right now but some of them are surface dwelling and whiter and some are swimming lower and darker, though the dark ones do come to the surface sometimes.  Do youall think this is an age difference thing or do I have both species of fry?  I didn't manage to photograph any of the darker fry since they're deeper and dark on a dark background.

Oh I was talking about my tub.  The three remaining rice fish will hang out on the surface but the wcmm won't come up and only dart up to snag food.

Well it's been two weeks and I thought I'd update this.  Turns out it's both!  I have a bunch of white surface dwelling fry that are now eating crushed flake and a bunch of neon white striped fry that zip around 2” under the surface!  I'm pretty excited, though I have no clue how I'm going to net them out of the tub when the time comes.
