WOW!!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!! BEAUTIFUL! WHEN YOU ARE READY FOR THAT FEMALE LET ME KNOW I HAVE SOME ABOUT 3" TO 4" MITE BE TO SMALL FOR YOUR BIG BOY NOW BUT GIVEN SOME TIME THEY WILL GROW.
 
Thanks Rico. I just might take you up on that offer for the female.
As far as the pic goes, lighting is key, along with the right color balance and camera settings. Practice makes perfect.

He gets a 'varied' diet. Pellets (mainly Hikari cichlid gold/bio gold, NLS), homemade food (contains Kens Cichlid pellets, raw shrimp w/shell, salmon, spirulina, and Cichlid Vital drops), Hikari krill, and jumbo raw shrimp (w/shell on). I have this other cichlid pellet that I can't think of right now (I'm at work) but he likes that too and it contains both spirulina and astaxanthin.
 
damn, seeing the previous pix, u don't get the perspective of how big this guy is, until that arm showed up. da's so koo to see a how nice a fish can turn out living exclusively in a dedicated big home. btw, do all umbees turn green after they're mature? cuz most of umbee pix i see are when they're little. o yea, and they look realli similar to JD besides the coloration difference, imo
