Can you help ID this stowaway young fish?

Howdy,
I came home from picking up a few new pals at my FLS yesterday and found a stowaway. Looks like a not quite a fry but not fully grown yet.

Might be a longshot but I wanted to see if anyone here might recognize it. It seems to like frozen baby brine and hiding in plants.

Also the tail appears to be forked.

Thanks for your thoughts and ideas!

Take this picture back to the LFS and see if they have more. Hopefully they know what they are selling.

Very skinny Boraras.

I thought Boraras as well but like FishDin's suggestion. It's not a betta & will likely need company!

It is obviously juvenile, Boraras seems possible but unlikely due to the size as a fry. Certainly, a Cyprinid of some sort. Give it a few weeks and see what develops.

Thanks for your thoughts all. With your guidance and a bit of deduction, I'm guessing it's BORARAS MACULATUS. Some of the spots seem to match images. The pygmy corys also came out of the tiny fishes tank - many varieties in smaller formats.

I'll try and call the FLS and see.
