    Yup, what Sophist said!

    And if you don't know what kind they are, could you post a clear, close up photo of one of them for ID?

    Well I tried again and couldn't get a good picture. I have tiger barbs, and a couple from here
    including the molly, and guppy.

    we have all three species in the attached photo.

    Well I managed to get a pretty good pic of them. They are all in the back of the tank.

    Tiger barbs would lay eggs. From the pics (which aren't great guides) I'd put my money on them being mollies (the ones pictured at the bottom of your post are sailfin mollies). Mollies are pretty hardy as far as fry go, so they're pretty good starters.

    Here's a decent page on their care: http://groups.msn.com/Breedingtropic...ngmollies.msnw

    Unless you have more than one guppy, those will be molly babies. The mollies will reproduce all the time so you might want to let the next batch of fry stay in the big tank. The big fish will thin out the flock and keep them at a managable level hopefully.
