What to do? My tank hasn't even finished cycling yet....plus yesterday I added more rocks to the bottom and move around some other stuff.

I looked in there a couple hours ago and to my astonishment there was a mini fry swimming around!!!!

There are 4 zebra danios in an as yet uncycled tank - 0 Ammo but .3 nitrites. (blush)

I just looked again and couldn't find it, so it may already be toast but if not, what do I do?

It's time for a water change tomorrow but I'm afraid to catch him accidentally!!!

Get a 5 gallon bucket. the fry should be fine in there for a little while.

Give the fry some places to hide where other fish can't get him... java moss is great for fry also. It shouldn't effect your cycle since fry have such a small bioload.

Ok thanks! I hope I find him again!

Will there likely be more?

Oh, there WILL be more....:shappy:

Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but there will be more! You can't keep nature down.
