I saw new fry in my tank yesterday, but don't now what type they are. I have ottos and false spotted corys in the tank that could be possible parents but I read both are difficult to breed. The only other fish I have are plattys and they are both males, the female died a while back. Is there any way to identify my fry besides waitnig to see until they get larger?

Is there anyway for you to post some pics? Is it possible that the Platy gave birth before she died? The fry tend to be good at hiding (for their lives).

Are these fry freeswimming or are they attached to a surface?

Also, what color are the fry?
If they are light, I'd lean towards platy survivors. Otos and spotted cories have darker fry, and they do breed in aquaria.
