So I have a 9 inch thinking its a female Umbee and I have been interested in a Jaguar cichlid for a while now. Should I risk putting the Jaguar cichlid in the 190 gallon tank or leave the Umbee as a solitary fish. What would you guys suggest.
Well I'm not exactly sure what she/he is yet, but Im heading towards a female but some people have actually said he/she is a male. I think time will definetely tell. So my umbee is currently 21cm and the jag is 16cm. Should I risk it or leave him/her alone.My female umbee ignored smaller fish .. she was 12-15" in a 220 .. how aggressive is she? how big is jag ? Ive gotten by introducing at least three smaller fish with larger fish after rearranging , cleaning tank. .. example smaller jag and two target fish ( convict, silver dollars etc) GL
They are pretty small still , but close in size.. it might last for a while, do you have a contingency plan if it doesn't bode well? If it were me Id pass...Well I'm not exactly sure what she/he is yet, but Im heading towards a female but some people have actually said he/she is a male. I think time will definetely tell.

Well the guy I was going to get him from gave me a recipt type thing and said if they dont get along I can take back the jaguar. Its basically a hit or a miss.They are pretty small still , but close in size.. it might last for a while, do you have a contingency plan if it doesn't bode well? If it were me Id pass...
I can't find tin foil barbs around here but I'll keep looking. Thanks for the adviceI would try either silver dollars or tinfoil barbs. The barbs may work better in that setup compared to the silver dollars.
