Your big male is the reason I got on the umbee train!
Superb fish and congrats on the pair and fry.

Thanks pal. I wouldn't be surprised if this guy gets to that size. He has steadily put on size over the past year with no signs of slowing down yet. If you check my threads over the last year you will be shocked at how he has grown.

The great thing about the Umbees is how outgoing and active they are in the tank. Constantly moving back and forth and always ready to display when you get near the tank. No fear hear! He lets you know to back off when you get too close. Even the small male will get wild when he sees you approach his tank, mostly due to the fact that he's guarding fry. They are a pleasure to keep if you have the tank space. I know it's not easy to devote a huge aquarium to one fish but believe me it's worth it!
 
holy crap that thing is on my top of my badass fish list. How many morphs are there? This has to be the most beautiful i have seen.
 
Would you mind letting me know the tank size and filtration? And where did you aqcuire this specific 18" male?
