[Vcygnus1]

hey MFK i bought three umbees from a sotre the other day and they had no idea whether they are blue umbees or gonna end up being greens. I was wondering if anyone can give me some help? Also, if you can please state how you know so i know what to look for next time!

this picture does not show it well but these fish are about an inch to inch half long and have red trim on their fins and blue spots on their faces

They look completely different from one another. If you Google them and compare at juvie size and adults you'll see greens and blues look nothing alike. Your first sign are the freckles. Greens will not have blue freckles lol

+1, once you see pics of the two it's not hard to tell.

ok cool thanks for the advice guys. The reason i even cared was because in that same store they had a pair of umbees which they said might have been the parents that were really, really green. I want a 20 inchblue male not a green one haha.

Thanks again
