Hi folks. I bought some Amanno shrimp a couple of months ago, and as I was getting them out of the bag I noticed there was a tiny fry inside!
I put him in my community tank, and he/she did alright. He/she has now grown out a bit and I was wondering if anyone knew what the heck it is, lolImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1406512198.023120.jpg

Looks like one of the smaller rainbowfish species possibility celebes.
I'm surprised it stayed in 1 place long enough to get a pic lol

Definitely not a danio.
Earlier I said celebes rainbow but I meant gertrude's rainbow, pseudomugil gertrudae.

From the look of the picture, your fish has a horizontal stripe across it's body, witch the rainbow has and the danio lacks. mostly

Thanks everyone for the responses! That is the one, for sure! I had no idea rainbow fish could be so tiny, I've only ever seen larger ones! Thank you for solving the mystery, lol :)

Yeah I'll have to see if I can find some more at my lfs. It's currently hanging out with my betta.

I wasn't sure initially, but they get on fine. The betta flared and chased a bit the first day but doesn't anymore. Never seen any marks that would indicate problems so I figure she's ok.
Currently she's only about 3/4 of an inch long.
