With the recent flooding of the market with Beani I was wondering if people are having luck with them or are they dying off like they were when they were plentiful in the early 90's? Feel free to post pics or just update how yours are doing.
How are everyone's Beani doing?

Got 3 about a year ago. Dead. I take full responsibility though. Had I devoted more attention to them.....
Nemesis, unfortunately that sounds like the M.O. with this fish. You get lax for even a week and it's over. I've lost many fish that way. Now I have a twice a week system that seems to work. SEEMS. Let's see if I can keep my Bartoni alive.
Got 3 off craigslist, 1 from a lfs. All were about 1.5 - 2" and died of bloat 3 weeks later.
Maybe if I just got one (so it was stress free), fed it super high quantities of fiber...it might have made it.

With some fish you can get away with that, others- not a chance. Either way I'm sure our fish don't appreciate the neglect one bit even if they're able to bounce back from it.
