Ok, the beani story continues. From the 50 soemthing Beani I brought, back, I have 3 left. 2 big ones about 6-7 inches now, and a medium one at about 4-5 inches. I thought the 2 big ones were male and female, since they had different body shapes, (don't get me started on parallel evolution), so I thought the bigger one which is rounder in shape was female, and the one slightly smaler was a male, since a bit more elongate, and more spotting, up to the mouth area. The slightly smaller was the dominant one, so I thought, ok he is the male. I seperated both of them becasue of what I thought was "rough love". Now I am thinking the bigger and more round one is male, since it is developing a slight hump on head, and the medium one which I thought was a male becasue of longer dorsal fin tip, is now turned black on lower part of body and a black mask, and they are both "nice" to each other hanging out together, and flaring at each other. I attached a picture, a very BAD one, but you all will get the idea. The fish all way at top is a male Mota, so look at 2 fish together, and notice the color pattern differances. Thoughts on what is going on here everyone??
