so the fry was just accidentally scooped up into your bag?!

COBettaCouple

funny how often that happens. crushed flakes sound good until you ID it.. and crushed boiled egg yolks.

Butterfly

The egg yolks work really good but you have to watch water quailty a little more.

COBettaCouple

well, got me there.. but i think it's probably a cyprinid. http://www.fishlore.com/profiles-cyprinids.htm

it came with my rainbow who was in a tank with balas and other rainbows...guess i'll just have to wait and see!

my betta seems really confused with his new friend/food that doesnt want to be eaten

COBettaCouple

lol.. well i think the odds are pretty good that's a rainbow fry.

Kevin

only thing is that its orange...but i guess that will go away with time
...as you can tell, this is the first fry i have had to deal with

COBettaCouple

well when it grows up, we'll find out what you've been taking care of i guess.

Kevin

i just hope it doesnt get HUGE!
i might be able to handle a bala since i'm getting a bigger tank...but nothing bigger

Butterfly

Is its tail kind of red? Looks like an golden white cloud to me. http://a1272.g.akamai.net/7/1272/112...ud_minnows.jpg
