Baby skirt tetra

[hank1]

This is a cool story that I wanted to share. Some background, i have a 38gal with 8 skirt tetras(and other fish), both larger and between 2-3.5 years and all seem content and healthy. A month ago I found a baby skirt tetra fry in the top of my tank, I made him a net nursary inside the tank and today I finally let him loose. He joined the skirts quickly and his color is so dark black now I think he's happy to be with his peeps haha...I understand breeding skirts can be difficult especially by accident like this.. I actually thought he was a piece of algae floating

Congratulations, if you can post a picture of him. I have up to 4 red eye tetra fry in my tank the oldest one comes out and joins the neon and ember tetras but runs and hides when the a eye tetra shows up. The others hide all day and I only see them at night. I am hoping to see a ember or neon fry show up one of these day. I also did not plan on having any fry.
