Yes, I only bought plants once back in December. First six fry showed up in early Jan, second six in early Feb, and I just noticed a single new fry on 22 Feb. It appears to be 10-14 days old. Plants would also explain the fry turning up in three different tanks.
All the tetra fry are in their own 40 gal and the C. sterbai fry are all in another 40 with their parents. Yesterday I placed a trio of Otocinclus in one 10 gallon and six C adolfoi in the other 10 gallon as those are my next spawning projects. We'll see if any more tetra fry appear.
Cold temperatures could be the factor. The tanks were hit with large cool rainwater changes several times in an attempt to get the C. sterbai spawning.
