xCichlasoma bartoni spawn today

[duanes]

And very much like beani, almost like smaller carbon copies.

beani female above, bartoni below, both in spawning color

bartoni male above, beani below

Very similar, the males.

How big does a male Beani get in tank, averagewise?

2nd day, only about 20 infertile eggs so far, not bad for their 1st spawn.

Congrats..looking forward to getting a spawn out of mine at some point.

My male beani is pushing 10", don't think he's done growing yet though.
I keep them cool in the winter (@68'F), I think that slows their growth a bit, which I don't mind.

Bartoni fry now @ 4 months old
