Cory fry or something else?

Two days ago, I found 2 small fry in my tank after a water change. The fry have been swimming in the top part of my tank- I have never seen them near the bottom. I thought that they must be cory fry because the tank has 4 panda cories and 3 otos and no other fish. However, there behavior seems inconsistent with what I would expect and the pics I have found of cory fry on the web. I estimate that these guys are only a 2-4 days old- they have doubled in size since I found them 2 days ago. The only other possibility is that some other type of egg came in with a small bunch of java moss that I added to the tank over 2 weeks ago- this just doesn't seem likely.

Is it possibly that they really are cories?

Where did you get the Java Moss from? could they be killie eggs? Cory fry would not double in size in two days.

Hmm. The java moss came with some brigs I got from someone on another board. I don't think that he has killies, but he does have rainbows- I wonder if that is what they are. I'm sending him a message to see what he thinks. Thanks for the tip!

Rainbows make sense.
