The best way (the one that worked for me) is to buy at least half dozen juvies and grow them out. I bought 1" juvies, and a pair had formed and started spawning at between 2 "(female) and 3" (male) took only about 6 months, and they remained bonded a long time.
I was able to get young bean in the Chicago area for about $3 each.
I had tried a year earlier with what was considered an adult (6") bonded pair, which ended in disaster.
From the spawns, of the group grow out pair, I ended up with many fry, that I found were very difficult to give away, unless I shipped.
below young female in spawning dress at only 2-3".
her first spawns fry,
Mine came from a very well known midwestern cichlid breeder called Place Pete
