My Prized Cichlid!!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Sorry for the loss......It's really a sad day when you loose one of your prized fish...I know the feeling.....Did he die from bloat of did he get killed by another fish?

No he had a lip infection I don't know the scientific name but slang would be duck lip i guess and he had duck lip when I got him. It kept reoccurring and I kept on treating it for the entire time I had him and when I had him in a tank by himself ,about 3months into it I came home from work he was dead. His head was dicolored so I figured the infection spread to his brain.:(


I just wanted to thank everyone for the kind comments and they are really appreciated:)
 
well as hard as it is to let go of a great fish that passes, I hope you decide to growout another awesome beani
 
If you look up importers out there, there should be someone, where a bouts in India?? Near Delhi? I had the Beani for roughly 2 and half years but I am guessing 4yrs or 5yrs ask Lopaka cause that's where I got him from, he was the only color varient like that in north American hobby that I am aware of.
yeah in delhi but this place is a dead place for fishes only cichlids you get here are oscars,green terror,sevs mostly gold ones and flowerhorns and yes african mabunas sometimes discus too
 
I will grow another Beani when I get one in the future, thanks aqua monster

oh cool, i'm going to noida next year maybe we can meet and i can check out your aquarium etc
 
I have a 12" fat male Beani and he has recurring issues with 'duck lip'. The only thing I've used that treats it is a combo of Furan-2 and Maracyn. I've seen that Beani is person, too bad he didn't make it. Not an easy fish to maintain it would seem, even at large sizes.
