If you have filament barbs then that is likely what those are. I don't know what their juvinile coloration is like but with many fish it is drastically different then the adult fish's color. I don't beleive the eggs came in on dry driftwood, they would not have survived being dry. Are the filament barbs in the same tank that the fry were found in?

a juvy filament barb a little further into growing then yours.
not quite the surprise you thought, but still pretty sweet.
oh ya forgot to mention, your filament barbs are prolific breeders and will pretty much breed in any moderately sized tank. some thin grass-like aquatic plant will encourage it though.

THAT'S a filament barb? If you're right and these are baby barbus filamentosis, I'll be sooooo happy. I've never bred anything other than cichlids. Thank you very much for the info.
That is so cool! I wish stuff like that happened in my tank. Well, it kinda does, but in reverse. "Didn't I have an armored cat in here yesterday? Why does my ornate bichir look so fat?"
