id my fry
I have a 10Gallon tank, one pleco, two goldfish, and three white skirt tetras.
Also, I have tiny fry which are approx. 2 days old. I suspect they are Pleco fry.
I have had the other fish for more than a year anf have never seen any eggs.
I had this pleco for a week, and now eggs.
My Egg Stages
Initial the eggs are white and transparent.
Then they became fluffy, like tiny cotton balls.
In the final stage they were even more flufflier, now with a very noticable spiky fluff.
Then babies.
The fry seem to cling to plants and glass like a pleco would.
Any suggestion as to the identity of my fry would be immensely appreciated.

It could be a miracle...Immaculate conception in fishIf you have only one pl*co, it would be impossible for the fry to be pl*cos.
Though, I also think it's goldfish, since they're easier to breed. Tetras can, but harder to breed, especially for a regular hobbyist.
