I found a random little fish in the tank earlier today and im trying to identify it. I havent got any fish yet, only 2 ramshorn snails. Its been ljke a week since i started this tank. Does anyone know what it could be? and also how i can take care of it. any advice would be appreciated. thank you!

Hard to say. Maybe a baby danio? I’d give it micropellets.
Definitely put a sponge over your filter intake if you don’t have one yet. Try a little pinch of flake food ground up to little pieces between your fingers. Let it go underneath the water so it doesn’t just float on top and see if he goes for it.
Do you remember what fish were in the tank you got those plants out of? That’s the most likely candidate. It’s almost impossible to identify a fish that young. What i can say for certain is, it’s not any type of livebearer guppy, plate, swordtail, mollie, etc. It’s too small for that.
I am going to guess pygmy corydorys, they lay their eggs on plant leaves and that’s probably how it got in your tank
Egg yolk.
