Any idea what kind of fry these are?

I have neons, dwarf rainbow and used to have endlers. But I'm not certain these are any of those.

They appeared 4/29 after I purchased some plants and put in my tank. I suspect some eggs were on the plants.

I'm also thinking rainbows, lfs had a tank full with their mother and I asked and was told they don't take rainbow shape until bigger. But I have not had any so not positive.

At first I thought tetras of some kind, but the second set of pictures made it pretty clear. There was someone else I know that had a similar case, bought pennywort or something like that, all of a sudden fry appeared. Congrats!
 
Dwarf neon rainbows are in my main tank. IMG_8985.jpg

When I set up the 60l biorb I put plants in here from that tank as well.

It's kinda freaking me out. It's like there is a fish fairy visiting and dropping random fry in my tank. Lol
 
If they are a little over a month would it be safe to move them to my main tank?
 
Fry are looking like their parents now. Getting a bit of color. All 6 are doing well. IMG_0424.jpgIMG_0434.jpgIMG_0441.jpg
