My Burundi Frotosa fry are now about a month old, and the cutest damn things I have ever seen too :)

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.

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

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.
