Rapps vs Conkel 3inch F1 male prospects

[BigUmbeeFan]

I was able to get a side profile shot of both my biggest Rapps F1 male prospect and my conkel F1 male prospect.
Both fish are approx 3 inches.
Amazing difference.
The Conkel fish seems to have a longer body and much more thicker face.
The Conkel F1 rules the tank. Nobody wants a piece of him.
I can say with certainty the Conkel fish is male.
I need to wait on the Rapps gang to see who turns out to be what.

What a juicy thread you've started here. Both fish look good. It will be interesting to see how they both turn out in a few months.

the smaller one on top pic seems to have more shine and sparkles. And he is smaller and Skinnier. That's a more outstanding umbee imo. Just needs pumping up.

But the bottom one seems to look like more of a perkier fish but not as sparkly. Maybe he's fully fed all the time. Both look excellent. Hope to see further updates on their growth. Thanks for sharing

Both are the same size.

The 1 on top was a little further away during photographing.

I am pumping up all the umbees and they are eating very well.

I'm hoping to cross breed a Rapps F1 with a Conkel F1.

I'm really excited about the Conkel F1. I had my eye on him for over a month. He was in a 20 gallon with about 15 - 20 other umbees his size and he just dominated everyone in the tank. He had an area in the tank and just kicked anyone out of the way that came near him. Nobody messed with him when he ventured around the tank either. LOL...They moved out of his way.
I was excited to add the Rapps F1's as well. The quality fish both Rapps and Conkel produce is tops so lets see what happens when they mix.

Which is which again? The too one is from Raps and the bottom one is from Conkel?
Do they all descend from Rio Magdalena?

just because they come from different venders doesn't mean they are aren't related.....

Rapps inported his own wild stock and spawned F1's from it and Conkel spawned F1's from his imported stock means they aren't related.
