I have fry that have hatched 3-4 days ago. I am not sure if they are baby Corey Cats or baby Neons. I have had quite a few Corey Cat babies grow up in my tanks, but this is the first time that I know of that my neons have had eggs. Can anyone tell me how I can tell if these are neon or Corey Cat fry?

They look like that- but not exactly. They have very round heads and long thin tails. My coreycat fry have always looked more like tadpoles? I guess? Plus, these fry didn't come from Coreycat eggs. My Coreys have the egg-laying thing down to a science! About every 2 weeks they are laying eggs. I have been pretty lucky with them, I guess. :). These eggs were real small and not attached to anything. She must have just dropped them because they were sort of drifting in the tank heading to the bottom. I just happened to look at the right time or they would have been dinner for sure! Thanks for the pic! Congrats!! The babies are very cute!! I'll let you know how this turns out! :)
