Not the best picture, but it appears to be an African dwarf frog tadpole. If you can get a better pic, we can i.d. it more accurately.

I'd be willing to bet Platy. Live bearers are prolific. ADFs are a bit tougher to breed, especially with other fish around that may eat the eggs.

I would agree with it being a tadpole. If it were a platy it would probably hanging around the surface while this creature appears to be attached to something.

They are free swimming or on the bottom or sides mainly. Got 3 in a fry net and have seen 1 in tank that I can't get. Tried to get better pics but they tiny

Those pics look like platy fry

Do you see any fins? I'm starting to think they could be platy fry.

Ahh much better pictures. Those are completely the wrong shape for a tadpole. Much too elongated. Tadpoles would have giant front ends, a pinched waist, and a skinny tail. I stand by my Platy guess
