16 umbees in my 330 gal

Picked up 16 umbees from COTA last week. Currently they are living with 8 clown loaches. They are eating mysis shrimp, blood works, and nibbling at nls. Plan is to keep one pair.

Good luck and keep us updated - I'm considering cleaning out my 300 and doing the same - what kind did you get?

Rio-mag, they supposedly have the humphead gene

I like your tank setup, it looks very natural. Those guys got lots of room to grow in there. Keep us updated.

A buddy of mine has some growing out from COTA. I'm jealous I didn't jump on board and buy some. The colors on them are unbelievable! Even at less than 6"

Should be very nice fish. There's always one or two in a group that out shine the rest. Hopefully the pair you get will be the superstars.
Keep us posted

Yeah that's why I got so many... Figured out of 16 I should be able to get a nice pair, at least I hope so.

It's only been a week but I swear some of them have already grown a tiny bit

In that much space man they will grow by the day.. love umbees..

Growing quick...still tiny babies though. Debating on just keeping a solo male over a pair. If so I'll try and keep the clown loaches as long as possible and throwing in some silver dollars or something that he may not bother with. I'll throw some pictures up in a few days.
