big male umbee aka mack diesel

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
beautiful fish, unfortunately is hard to mix with others unless you have a huge tank.
 
The growth on the umbee is fast. One of the faster fish i've kept. In less than a year the guy grew from 7" to 14" not to mention the body mass it put on too. Not only did the nature of the fish grew fast it also helped it by changing the water once or two a week with daily feeding. Its the kind of fish that next stops eating so i can go through pellets and other food pretty damn fast.
 
Very Nice Umbee! =D nice coloration on it...and you should soon add that beast in the 200 gallon soon you'll be so satisfied with the growth you'll see in the 200 gallon...lol mines still growing around 3.5"....and is showing lots of male-ish features...so im still praying that it is....with the red forming on its cheeks already and high bodied with some trailers growing....aggressie temper...you know those things that males tend to give to anyone
 
nice fish
a side comment - you might want to make sure that the heater is fully submerged... it seems the bottom part is actually outside of the water. could be an issue.
darker gravel would probably make him stand out more :)
 
holy tats, what size tank is he in?
 
Nice fish!

it's in a funny tank size. The tank is 4 feet long and 18 inches wide but its not too high. I'm guessing somewhere in the 70-90g range. After a little more growth its going to a 200g.
