Humm. Erik said something about them not being good, like attacking fry. Do
you have any photos or more info?

Sounds like Cyclops. Usually good food for fry. They feed on dead stuff
mostly - dead plants, fish food, etc.

not hydra...?!?? I have lots of them, so if they are good, then maybe they
are good food for fry, and hopefully not the other way around. So far, I
have killifish fry growing from eggs laid in the tank with the parents, and
I haven't been feeding the fry anything, just been taking care of the
parents needs.
