I will not state what I think it is because I do not want to influence you. It has to be a net or plant transfer because the tank they came from only had very different fish in it. That were moved 4-5 weeks ago. I moved my mystery snails a couple days ago from this 20G to a different 20G and during that process I noticed 5-6 tiny fry I thought they were danios (that’s the other breed) because from that tank when I moved the fish 4-5 weeks ago I found 6 danio fry in there and moved them to another tank. So I just scooped these guys up without even taking a good look at them and transferred them with the mystery snails. This morning I was feeding and this caught my eye…3ADC6C7C-4663-4081-80A4-B7D5FF0C2F09.jpeg.7263fcfa0a5a5fb42524b568d2a3d3b4.jpegB0049130-01BE-4D68-B915-7CC268934916.jpeg.83e29a4e6e593f51908a70bb43633134.jpegBCE2B4DC-D3F2-4E8D-9411-ED4D03719089.jpeg.77d8fc4d3f34e1d6bec2b25f71cac3b3.jpeg8F110678-4116-4C40-825B-19CABF83D368.jpeg.20b9ec8a50b75f0af77dc2dc92cf0bf8.jpeg73DDEC19-2E5E-4451-A99D-191ED86828A7.jpeg.bcad9c82b7cec4f87938f6cdcdda16fb.jpegTheir about a 1/2 long I seen 3 of them this morning. Previously in this tank were the danios, a single endler, and 6 guppies. I am very confident it’s none of these species and if it is blaaa.

Definitely a Tetra, Red Eye or Reed Tetra is my guess.

You might be right here is one of my lamp/ red eye tetra. I had really forgot this could be a possibility, I was so focused on what I was hoping it was.C2B415E3-1F19-4BF1-AF3F-4E4FE366CA55.jpeg.0504354ab9018530bc79f475e160e902.jpeg

The bright white stripe on tail fin is what threw me. Guess they could lose or become more central like this one.

Congrats, they're definitely tetra fry!

Thank you, I was hoping they were rummynose but after @MickS77 said red eye I think he might be right. Even tho neither make sense how their fry got in there(net most likely because i did have them together and just recently split them, the red eye and rummys) but looking closer at the body type and finage I think lamp eye?
