No more talk about the Beani any more, just wondering does anyone has anything that they would like to share about Beani? Has anyone been able to raise one to get full size? Is it possible to house them in the same tank with other cichlids, has anyone been successful in doing that? What are you feeding your Beani, and what temperature do you keep them in? How do you tell if you have male or female? They say that they are dimorphic in sex, so you should be able to look at them and determine their sex? Anything that anyone have to share about Beani would help in the learning/growth process would be helpful...
 
Bump. Nobody have any Beani?
 
BaldTaxGuy has a group, working well, yet still young....I am thinking of grabbing one myself, so your post has me wondering as well....

Bought 10 at 1-inch in March, 6 months ago. They are about 4 inches now. Not a fad for me, hope to breed them. Here are a couple of crappy pics:

How can you tell the sex? I got two Rio Tepic.....one has much more spotting than the other....however, they are shaped the same (referring to body and finnage). I am hoping they are a pair, but unsure. Thanks!
 
I beleive I have a male also and I am looking for a female to. I hope that the Beani is not just a fad, I believe they are really nice cichlids, mines is really out going, will come out in the open... I would just like to see him reach adult size to see what kind of character he will have then.
