Here are a few pictures I took today of my Umbee.

He is a wild caught male from Jeff Rapps. I have had him for around 4 years or more. I believe he is around 18 inches. I currently have him in a 300 gallon.

Thank's animal guy.

Dave, he was around 6 inches. His head has been getting bigger. When he spawns it will bulge out more. I feed him NLS pellets.

HHH, thanks, he is not aggressive. He is actually very mellow. He doesn't respond aggressively at all to someone or myself walking by the aquarium. I have never had him with any other fish though. He will occasionally chase the female and pleco.

Thanks Canamonster. He has definitely turned out better than I thought he would. I am trying to find pictures of him when I first got him. Here is a picture of him from two years ago. You can see how his shape has changed a lot.

Oh ya big change! In reality at 4 years he really is still just a pup. The true beauty comes out in these giants when they become adults, which is seldom seen! Awesome job with him man. I have a youngster that I will be growing to beast size also!
