Big Blue Umbee

[GMFISHNUT]

Took a couple of pics of the big guy while I was shooting the small pair. Not enough room where the tank is to get a full shot of him in the pic anymore. He's pushing around 18". He has been sold to another board member in CA and will be shipped out soon. I've had him since he was 6".

I am lost for words. I don't understand why you would want to sell such a magnificent specimen?

 

[caribemob]

your selling them george, why are you moving or something. or are you opening up some more tank space

what a bad boy. spewin you have to sell him...

I'm in the process of moving and I just don't have the time to set up the new fishroom with everything else that's going on right now. I will be moving only three tanks to the new place for now and none of them are near big enough for this pair. I will be setting up a new fishroom with an automated water changing system within the next 6 months and I can only hope my smaller male will turn out like this guy.
Photos do not do this fish justice. It's an unreal sight to see him swimming back and forth from one side of the tank to the other all day long. A true show quality Umbee!

Pictures dont do him justice, I cant believe how thick & long he has grown in the last year..

I'm sure you sold it to a hobbyist who would take care of this bad boy like you did. If I only new it was for sale .
