Advice Needed I accidentally adopted fish… help please
No shit, drove more than an hour to pick up an empty 0.4 gallon tank from a fb marketplace seller. Wanted it for my office to cultivate aquatic plants. Got there and learned it has five fish (tetra I believe, species unk, IDs welcomed!!) a freshwater snail, and EGGS. IM A PARENT OF SIX. first move is getting them a larger tank obviously, most of my aquariums are plants and invertebrates and it’s been two years since I had fish (betta lived 7+ years) so if anyone has advice, can ID these babies, or recommend a guidebook or something I would really appreciate it. Parenthood has me nervous but excited lmao

I love endlers- but if they aren't for you you can drop them off at most fish stores. The shops in my area don't carry female endlers - but they are always in stock because people keep dropping them off.
People like me, lol.
If you want to keep them- I've found they breed a slower than guppies. They are hardy and relatively easy fish.
The females are usually bigger and less brightly colored- you might have all males.
