Hello community!

I found this stowaway in my tank. Little black fry about 1/4”….I have no idea where it came from except that I bought some new floating plants 2 weeks ago. I only have bottom dwellers and a lone apistogramma male in the tank so I know it’s not any of them 😆 I’m amazed the egg or fry survived bc I washed the plants vigorously under tap water O_o Life is amazing!

Probably too soon to tell, but can anyone identify what this little guy could be? It’s mostly all black. I’m thinking guppy, but I have no idea. It stays near the surface of the water.

Thanks for any insight and guesses! 🤔

My initial guess is a dark strain Medaka fry (Japanese Rice Fish)…
