Unexpected Pseudomugil Luminatus fry

[RogueAquarium]

I thought I had watched closely for eggs, and was planning on transferring any lotus stems that had eggs on them to their own grow out tank to protect from the parents, but apparently I missed the eggs, because I have at least 1 fry hanging out at the top of the tank..... Should I just leave it and see what happens, or try to fish the little guy out with a net and raise him in it's own small grow out tank?

If you have another small aquarium that is cycled or a breeder box to put him in would be best if you want to increase his chance of surviving!

Luminatus fry hatch out fairly often in my display, unless I pull them, they do not make it more than a couple days max.

Removed. Do they do well alone? I've only seen the one.

It will be fine. Keep an eye on the tank, you will find more from time to time.
