Mo, thats a beautiful fish but its not white. If there is a chance these rapps beani are the same, then this "white variant" is not too different. I saw a few other threads about White beani and other than dan woodlands pair which seem to have some red, they seem very similar. Lopaka has a male that might appear to be a bit more white than normal. If this is a different variant, its not too noticable.Aquamojo;3615935; said:If Jeff got them from Rusty, then here's a shot of the same. I have five of them in a 100 gallon tank. This is the largest male. Rusty sent me a dozen F0 Beani back in April. According to Rusty the fish were collected in Rio Panuco...about 40k east of Mazatlan...way up on the ridge of the highlands of the Sierra madre (western ridge of Mexico...sort of across from the Baha Penninsula.

John,
If the fish in question is from Rapps...and it came from Rusty...this is the fish. The fish in the picture is still juvenile, so maybe a color change is in the future. I don't know. I dropped a note to both Rusty, Jeff and Dan to see if I can shed some light on the subject. I know there are variants among the species. I'm curious on the explanation as well.
OK...spoke to Dan. There are two sources that I know of for the fish. One is Dan Woodland...the other Rusty Wessel (either through him or one of the retailers). If someone else is breeding them and selling them, I am not aware...not doubting...just not aware.
I saw the picture of Dan's on Aquabid...asked about the white. His response was that "Mine turned white when they bred. But thats it. Basically the same beani Ive seen with exception of the red unpaired fins." His fish are from the Rio Panuco on the northern west coast of Mexico. From what I am told...he is selling them faster than hershey bars at a fat camp.
For what it's worth...

Thanks Mo. I couldnt resist, I bought some from Dan as well. Interesting how these fish circulate in the hoby.Aquamojo;3618793; said:
It is at that. I can remember when everyone wanted a barred Midas...then the Zaliosum...then Yellow Labridens...now Beani. Sooner or later we all get what we want. Bring on the Ramsdeni and Steindachneri.
RamsdeniWow, lots of good info!!
Thanks for figuring all this out Mo! I assumed what Jeff was selling was from Dan becuase I thought I saw Dan's picture posted on Jeffs vender forum but I guess I was wrong. Either way it's good to know that they are the same fish and what to expect them to look like. That will teach me to open my mouth when I don't know what I'm talking about
