So I have a 36 gallon bow front tank that I was using as a quarantine tank for some fish I had got online. I had taken the fish out of this tank about a week ago and added to the main tank. I should note that the fish I had in quarantine was juvenile fish that I believe too young to breed. Those fish included a singular angelfish with about a quarter size body, and five "polar blue" parrot cichlids (looks like a convict parrot Cross of some kind) those was approximately 3/4" to 1" Long.
The tank has been sitting with just an air filter running, no lights, and I had turned the heater off. I started getting the tank set back up as I am expecting another shipment of fish next week. Then to my surprise while I was letting things settle I noticed a fry! The thing is tiny and I can't see it being very old at all. I don't know if it is possible that I got the fry with the quarantine fish and just never noticed it or if it could possibly be the fry of the blue parrot convict cichlid things. Lol
Anyway I found it very exciting and thought I would like to share with fellow crazy fish people. I am really looking forward to finding out what this little fish is.
Edit: while trying to photo the fry I discovered there are actually two of them.
Sorry for the bad pics.
