We have hundreds of little light colored specs swimming in the tank. They seem to be acting like the adult Otocinclus as far as cleaning rocks, the aquarium glass, the piece of driftwood, etc... Could these be fry? Even when they appear to number in the hundreds?

They are in a ten gallon tank with live plants, a few mollies, cory cats, a single Gold Stripe Panaque and 5 Otocinclus.

The only addition we've had to the tank recently has been the Otocinclus about 3 weeks ago. The plants have been in the tank for years and all the fish except the Gold Stripe Panaque were born/hatched there and raised from fry (only left a few of each and moved the rest to a larger tank). The Gold Stripe Panaque was added months ago.
