Attempting to grow a large specimen Beani

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
So what's that Andy, 2.5 inch per year growth? Sounds excruciating, he looks fantastic tho pal, look forward to the next update!+)
 
He was bought on the 19/9/15 at 1cm or may be 1/2inch from Rob at Lincs fish.
On the 24/11/16 he measured 6inch. So that's 5.5inch growth in 14 months.
On the 6/7/17 in guessing he's around 7.5inch, so that's only 1.5inch in just over 7 months.
Hoping to get him to 8inch in Two years. Then another Two years to probably 10 inch so.

I am attempting to grow a specimen Beani. Bought these summer 2015 from different sources. There all turning out different colour variants, which is quite nice. Hopefully a can choose my preferred colour, if they all live.
I do have more Beani but these four are the ones doing the best. They got off to a very slow start. But are now growing feeding and pooing well.

Update on my favourite Rio Panuco Beani.
The tank was scaped Nov 2016. So I though it was about time to take out all of the rocks and wood and have a good deep clean. I used the opportunity to weigh and measure the fish, and get some pics. I'm quite happy with his progress. I'll take some in tank shots when the water and fish have settled.
