Good deithers for Umbies

[bud]

I just got 3 pair of Umbies about a week ago and 1 of the pair her tube is starting to drop but when I pulled the divider well you know they are fighting like hell.Thought maybe about putting some kind of deither for them to chase.I have a hiding spot for her but they are too close in size and she will not back down.He is about 10" she is 9".

I don't have experience with Umbees but since they are from SA I will go ahead and recommend Silver Dollars. They are really fast.

It all depends on the idividual fish. I keep mine in solitary confinement. That works best for me. I would give some red hooks or silver dollars a shot though. Just make sure they are BIG. Keep in mind though that if they breed their aggression will pick up so may not be a good idea. GL !!

I think silver dollars as well.

Thanks all.I will wait tell her tube is all the way down and try again.If I have to I will leave up the divider and us my fluval 405 to push the water from his side to across the slate

What size tank do you have them in? just curious cause i would like an umbee, but i have NO idea what to do for one.

They are in a 120 for now will be breeding them in 3 different 180s

I'd go with big tinfoil barbs. They can take a good beating pretty well and they are big.
