Cory fry. Guppy fry are born much more developed than that.
Interesting... any idea what kind of parasite that is @Reedfish? I haven't seen Esha around S.A, but after a bit of digging, it's primary...
It's a little difficult to see on the image... are these spots very different from the body patterning? If you're concerned it might be disease,...
