nice shots
haha yeah tis a little too far. so are you planning of breeding him? also at what size have you grown this male out from
If I can find the space I might give it a shot. Right now I just don't have the room needed to dedicate a breeding tank and grow out tanks.
I bought him in December 07 at around 1". Of the three I bought the smallest was quickly killed. Of the two remaining I lost the largest after a roommate unplugged a AC110 and then plugged it back in after the bacteria had died, fouling my tank (largest was about 6-7", this guy was 4"). So he was the middle sized one. I just got lucky.

It's not like I told him to do it....He decided to vacuum and unplugged it, then plugged it in a couple days later when he remembered.
Here's one from March 08. Really terrible. 2" or so.
Here he is in Sept. Not very good but about the best I can do. 4-5".

Not even close. Big pussy. Hides a lot. Just runs from the bigger guys (hence being divided). Flares at the smaller grammodes but doesn't do anything. He will fight a mirror pretty tough though. I've heard they don't really snap until a decent size...we'll see.
thanks for the shots mate. i'm still double crossed fingered that my umbee is a late bloomer to show it's male characteristics. pretty sure it's female though. still around 3.5-4" though so who knows.
man he looks nice. i just cant get tired of umbee pics. i hope mine is a male. take care of him and don't let your room mate by him again.
