My Burundi Frotosa fry are now about a month old, and the cutest damn things I have ever seen too :)
-
Aawww they are the cutest lil critters ever...didnt know you had females Steve, I thought your display was all blokes...how many youngens did you get?
-
I didn't know I had a female either Danny lol. Looks like I have 4 males and one female. Got 7 fry from them and all 7 survived and are doing really well.
Thanks for moving the topic Josh, I didn't know if I should put it under old world or fish pics or where to put it.

Cool! Looking like you're gonna have a BAP entry, huh?
-
A great surprise Steve. Thx for sharing mate

That require giving them away? Because if so then nope, these little guys are not going anywhere :) lol

You can always bring three of them to a meeting when they hit one inch for BAP and then buy them back. Or another way would be to write an article on them and include your tank setup, food you feed, tank maintenance, etc.

Bring them to a meeting, put them in the BAP auction & just buy them from yourself. Most you pay is $1 & you get a nice certificate to hang on the wall

I have never beed to a BAP auction so plz excuse my ignorance of how things run, but what if someone there wants them and bids more than he is willing to pay for his own fish?

It is just like a normal auction, fish go to the highest bidder. Sale $6 or over $1 to the club remaining to the breeder, sale under $5, 100% to breeder.

Yep I now know which one is for sure the female, and the dad is 99% sure my biggest one that was hanging out in the cave for a while with the female a couple months ago. I'll snap a pic of them shortly.

I can't believe how fast these little guys are growing. Couple of them are starting to get close to the 2" range already.
-
Nice Steve...have all the lil' guys survived in with the adults? Has the happy couple spawned again?
-
Yep they all are doing well, none of the adults even give them a second look so no problems with them eating them at all. Haven't spawned again as of yet.
-
Been a while so figured I'd show some updated pic of these little guys. They aren't quite so little anymore. Now are about 8 months old and I'd say close to 4" now. At least 3.5" to 4" range. Doing great and colors & stripes are nice and clean looking.

Handsome lil guys mate. Very nice. They're dwarfed by that beast male...lol
-
Yeah he's really turned into quite a monster. He was about 12" when I got him a bit over a year ago and I figured he was maxed out in size, but I think he's got even a bit bigger in the past year. Hard to say for sure though because I see him every day so it's hard to see but I think he's a bit bigger than he was.
