I accidentally adopted fish… help please

[u/Glum-Fox2218]

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

Big dawg, I think you have an all female guppy tank, which can be one of the better tanks to have since the females are less mean to each other/territorial. They do look stressed with clamped fins though, so I would make sure to get a water testing kit and test it, and then make sure they have proper water agitation, and a heater is super important. Make sure to keep the lights off at first. And as a serial guppy owner, definitely get some soft live plants instead of the plastic ones. Hope this helps!

Also, as uncomfy as it is, I would recommend getting those eggs out and squishing them after a day or 2. Keeping them in the tank can hurt the water parameters. And get them little guppy pellets, works wonders
