That'd be awesome lol.
Honestly it seems like he's making a poor economic descision if there is just one male. If he could find a female and get them to breed, which from what I've read isn't super duper hard, he'd more or less have a monopoly on the beani market.
I'm sure he'll find a taker soon though. I've started saving

well it wouldn't be much of a monopoly if he ends up with a pair 
the fry from the pair would continue to survive and breed.

it wouldnt really be a simple task to track a female down....let alone any other ones for sale. the guy i bought my two big tanks from had kept this species for a long time and explained that they are very intolerant of each other, thus making breeding much more difficult than breeding other cichlid species...and if you lose either side of a pair...again, it wouldnt be an easy task finding a replacement breeder. this is also a touchy species, or atleast can be, when it comes to feeding. like haitiensis, many juvenile fish die from bloating, therefor many do not make it to breeding size.
anyway, it looks like a show quality fish, not to mention extremely rare...well worth the price IMO. this is one of those fish that could bring me back to the hobby...just wish i had the cash.
That's what I'm talkin bout!!! I agree top notch fish.Obviously it wouldn't be easy to get a female, I wasn't saying that it would be . If anyone could track down a female beani it'd be Jeff Rapps, and obviously fry that are sold from the pair would breed so it would be a temporary monopoly, but if he could sell a few hundred juviniles for hower-much each he'd be in good shape.

This is the first beani i have seen it is a sweet looking fish however what i don't understand is how a commonplace cichlid becomes uber rare in a decade or two. Did it become not cool to keep this fish ? some other hip new trend in the hobby came along and erased it's value? It's like saying a decade from now red devils will be missing in the lfs haha
anyway anybody have a good link about info concerning the beani i would like to learn a little about this fish.big train;1354367; said:This is the first beani i have seen it is a sweet looking fish however what i don't understand is how a commonplace cichlid becomes uber rare in a decade or two.
