Cherry Barb or Emperor tetra
My wife and I were sitting around the other night and discovered our fish had spawned. Only one fry that we can find. Its the first time this has happened in our 6 year old tank. She thinks it is a Cherry Barb and I think it is an Emperor Tetra (we have both in our community tank). Anyone know for sure?

The dark wide black band has the characteristics of a emperor tetra as a cherry barb has a faded thin black band. I say it's leaning more towards the emperor tetra. Cherry barbs also have a pinkish tint and your fry seems like it has a grayish tint.
