Glo-light Tetra Fry?

[Boon]

Total newbie here! Hi!

I was given a 50 gallon aquarium a few weeks ago. I set it up in the dining room, cleaned it, filled it, and did a fishless cycle. Friday night I brought home our first fish.

Saturday morning, I noticed the glo-light tetras were spawning! They must've liked the water. As soon as the eggs would fly, all the other fishes (and mom and dad fish too) would swarm the area and eat the eggs. I thought they got them all. Apparently not.

Now I have 13 tiny fry in a breeding net. I suppose it's possible they are mollies, but none of the mollies seem thinner than they were before, and the only one that I know is pregnant I just got today.

So they're probably the tetras, right?

• 2 pleco catfish
  2 dalmatian lyretail mollies
  1 cremecicle lyretail molly
  1 black molly
  1 black lyretail molly
  2 silver lyretail mollies
  6 neon tetras
  7 glo-light tetras
  1 male betta in his own breeder net

Started up the tank
Then got tetra-fried
Kept thinking I could never feed
so many little fish
But I spent so many nights
thinking how I could crush food
They grew strong
I learned how to carry on
and so they live
in a big net
I just walked in to find two more
and I don't know where they're from
...
They will survive

Most likely mollies, actually, but there is a small possibility that they are tetra fry....can you manage some photos?

No film, sadly. I used up all the film Sunday afternoon. Bad timing, I guess.

You know, I just now went to measure them, and they seem to be about 1/4 inch. That's about right for mollies, and too big to be tetras, really. So you're right, they are probably mollies. Hmmm...

They just seemed so very tiny before I actually tried to measure them.

And now there are 22.
