Patience finally paid off. 
Hint: It's a species tank.

| Hmm... I am thinking Oto eggs. Am I right? I may have cheated a bit by looking reeeaaally close to your pictures. |

Willie has it. Didn't realize there was a couple of adults in the picture when I first posted it, but it's not cheating to look real close!
They look marginally more like Otos now, 5 days old:

| Wow, congratulations on the eggs and young! Considering how small Otos are, those eggs and larvae look relatively large. It's amazing how they already have a bit of pigment at five days old. So cool! |

Didn't manage to get a scale on the pictures; they were about 3 mm long freshly hatched and are now around 6 mm. They seem about in line with the other nano fish fry that I have, which hatch out at about 2-3 mm and approximately double in mass every week until juvenile stage. These certainly are certainly picking up the adult appearance a lot faster though.
