Accidently collected fish

Hi everyone.

I visited Greyton last weekend and couldn't help myself when I saw some water plants in the river so I collected 3 different plants. I noticed some eggs on one of the plants but didn't even entertain the thought of them hatching. To my surprise, the eggs hatched. Now I have a whole lot of baby fish which I don't have a clue what they are. This is going to be an interesting experience to grow them up.

 

Sorry. Uploaded the wrong picture.

 

Following along. Interested in seeing what they can be

 

Wow going to be amazing watching them grow and figuring out what they are

 

Hahahhaha great.

We had exact the same. Bought some Riccia Fluitans : 11 Pseudomugil gertrudae fry as a bonus hahahahaha.

Most likely carp. Then second most like barber or bass

 

That is a huge score

 

I have the same feeling

 

How exciting!

 

Might also be Galaxias zebratus if taken from a relatively undisturbed area

 

I don't think it is. I had some of them when is was still on school, and I think these eggs were a bit big for them and the eggs were collected from a river that runs through a farming area. We might be surprised though.

 

They are getting bigger.

 

It's got biggish eyes... Maybe a predator?

 

I'm starting to think it is catfish (baber)....

 

Definitely not a catfish judging by the mouth profile, likely a small bass or some other fynbos fish.

It looks like Cape Kurper and bluegill are also in the area...
