First of all thanks to all who took many of the "green" Rio Baluarte, Sinaloa Beani a couple monthes ago. Second, attached are pics of what may be the "white" Beani?? I caught 3 fish from Rio San Pedro, Nayarit, about 2 hours south from Rio Baluarte, 20-30 minutes from the coast, and a 10 minute drive North of Rio Santiago. I have a "green" 5" female and 5" male, that Ewok, Gary and Gani have seen, from Baluarte. But this one, the one I am for now calling "white" beani, is a bit differant! Th boady shape is differant, and the big one pictured here came in with a hump, and it is about 3.5-4", with a broader dorsal. Also the lipps are turquoise blue, and there is some turquoise blue spangling on the head, and the color (stress color), is differant. The Balurate came in stressed at a gold color, and these came in stressed at a steel gray color. Now it has a lot of white/gray on it. It is clearly a beani, as that is the only cichlid native to those waters, except for the introduced Tilapia. It is a cool variant, and I am planning on bringing in some soon, before I move onto "Red" Istlanum. Comments please?? Sorry, about the repeated pics. First time attaching pics to site.
