    its probably a dead fish that the other fish picked at. to my knowledge no fresh water fish in this hobby have egg pouches like sharks.

    or maybe a big piece of crap

    if it was a fry it wouldn't be as big as what you have in your tank(going by the picture). fish fry are very small.

    I think its safe to assume its not alive since its floating on the surface.
