This is my 9 inch Umbee i have this fish for about a year he is in a 180 with a pleco since tankmates arent welcome and the pleco gets harassed sometimes. I am hoping for a male but im still not 100% sure if it is a male. Im probably gonna vent the fish to be sure. Let me know what you guys think

that definitely a male! man yours grew real fast! =] I sold mines already =[ Very nice though
 
Great looking fish. He is in fantastic shape, and has some beautiful fins going on there. Keep up the good work.

What does his diet consist of?
 
Thanks guys this is my favorite fish. I feed him Krill Market shrimp bloddworm and cichlid sticks.

I bought a ton from hung ming BUT this guys was brought into a store in san mateo for beating up other fish when he was about 2 inches. But he was in a tank with much larger fish and was getting his but kicked so i got him for about 5 bucks i think something dirt cheap since he was kind of beatin up.
 
Nice buy, it's certainly worth it for $5, more like a steal. He looks gorgeous. Do you plan on breeding him?

I have 2 other umbees im growning out incase its a female but if i can get a pair that would be great but i think id need a bigger tank then a 180 to breed them I got a 240 next to this tank so its always a possibility but ill need a male first
