Beani for sale??

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My beani comes tomorrow. :nilly:

I'm so excited, thank goodness for summer jobs. This is a dream come true, I'm definitely no baller, but none of my fish compare to pictures of beani I have seen, so I have to rev my engine a little bit. Don't worry though, I won't slam the keys on the table. ;)

well done cookie monster ;)
how many did you get? you definitely need to tell us more :)

one thing i learned from ruck fules was that they are sensitive to water changes. something i learned from altum angels was that it was not advisable to be changing huge amounts of water straight from the tap into your tank. what you should do is get a 5 gallon bucket and 'age' the water there. i currently do this with a 1 gallon bucket and i fill it up with water, put in the water conditioner stuff and just leave it outside the whole day. when i get home from work i just dump it into the altum tank and no one is worst for it. this compares drastically to before when i was using the whole hose and what not technique.
i think aging tap water or allowing it to properly de-toxify will be an important part of keeping sensitive fish alive. just my two cents from experience with altums :)
 
Thanks for the advice. :)

I only ordered one fish for now, but Jose said he'll send me a second fish free if I pay shipping. I don't think I'll ever find a deal for beani better than that, so I think I'll have to take him up on that offer. I'd have to set up a new tank for the second fish though; I don't want to risk keeping two beani together. I'll try to post pics tomorrow, but no guarantees regarding the quality. ;)

Big dovii, shipping was only $30, just like the auction said. I wonder why Jose never emailed you back. :naughty: (just kidding, haha)
 
There are more on right now starting at 75.00 jose emailed me to let me know.ewok that is a good piece of advice along with bloat problems you have to be careful when they are young.Im thinking about bidding on it i want a beani really bad,but funds wont be better until late next week.
 
Bummer that you lost your altums to somth'n like that Ewok, I recently made the same mistake with a bunch of argentea and pearsi grow outs - frick'n wanted to bash my head through a wall while I watched them all lay on their sides and die out one by one...
