I just noticed an itty bitty fry in my tank :), I'm assuming he came from the plants I picked up at the auction. Anyone sell plants from a tank with fry in it? I'd love to know what kind of fish it is.

That's one tough little fry!  What plants did you buy?

The tank it's in has java fern, babies tears, val, anabius nana lots of crypts..I think that's it. What a little trooper. I hope he makes it so I can see what he turns out to be. I know for sure that he didn't come from any of the fish in that tank. He's so cute...it's eyes are as big as it's body...lol

I didn't buy any combo bags actually..I bought a bunch of individual plants

I just found another one. Do I need to feed them anything special or is crushed up flakes good?

Crushed up anything is fine.

Depends on the size of the fry IMO.  If they're very young, you can hardboil and egg and squeeze the yolk through cheesecloth - do a google search on it for more info.
If you would like some microworms, pm me and I'll get you a culture.
