Definitely not a puffer fry. Possible a molly? What other fish have you kept in that tank?

Hey
It looks like guppy fry.
Do you feed your f8 live fish?
Have you bought any new plants it may have hitchhiked on?

I do have mollies in the tank but they (I have 2) don't seem to act like a Molly at all and it have a distinctive white belly...
They act like puffers...
How can you be so certain as I can't find a single picture of puffer 8 fry...

So whatever they are any idea how big they need to be to survive against my puffers...?
White belly, fins really far back, no top fin...most of all it's how they act..
I'll try keep them alive and see...
Any pics of figure of 8 fry anyone?

Nothing specific for it...just looks to be picking at the bottom of the tank I transferred it to...micro blood worm left overs...what should I give them? They are tiny..

Did you say youve put them in their own tank? If you havent got another tank buy a breeder net. Keep us updated with news and pix please. Im really curious to see what they grownup into.

Yeah it's got it's own heated tank. I will keep you updated.
If it survives. It's eating and swimming a lot more now
