I think my "male" Beani is a female. Check out the pics......do you see what I see? It's been acting strange lately and is wearing a breeding dress. It has a black mask and its color looks very dull right now.

Do you agree it's a female? Hey Gary (Polomax24), what do you think?
 
Comparison for you...I think female only because males in my exp seem to not false breed...I have had many many females do this...What is the temp? Is the beani alone?

Definitely large enough to be a female tube, but the hook like shape makes me wonder.

Beani's fin patterns are _ _ _ _ ing amazing.

I know, fins pattern looks cool.

I might have another proof that it's a female.

The Beani is with my Umbee. I temporarily divided my male Umbee tank. It's a removable acrylic divider with 1/2 inch horizontal slots. Temperature is around 82-84 degrees.
 
no umbeani!!!! :D

get gary's male there asap!!! :D :D

and yes, i want dibs :D

ok maybe not the later, but you get the idea! mouth brooding severums? rare domesticated discus strains? all options are on the table :D

Lol, time to convince Gary (Polomax24) to sell or lend me his "male" Beani. I have the "perfect water" and tank space to breed them.
 
I was going to post this tomorrow but can't hold back any longer.

PROOF that it's 100% FEMALE

But it might belong to another female?
 
What the heck?!?!?!
what other female is possibly in that tank?!?!
you sir, are sitting on a gold mine!
gary should need no convincing whatsoever... this is for the hobby man.

GARY WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?! :D :D
