Got a second umbee

[Guapoteguy291]

The results of the first umbee I acquired were 50/50 so to in crease my chances I picked up a second one. Trying to get a male. Here are some pics, not the greatest, hopefully someone can sex this one. All opinions welcome and appreciated.

This fish is about 5"

If anyone needs a pic from a different angle or vent pics I can try and provide them

I have only one male from my group of four umbees. And this male was thought to be female by some members on the forum lol.
If you do want a male, get a group of at least 6. No one here can sex the umbees 100% correcly.

Love the look of the umbee but getting a definite male is becoming a real PITA... About to give up and go back to dovii can sex those at a glance at 2"

Even with vent pics no one can help?

Sorry not familiar with the Apes but I would say male from the colors poping

I say female based on the black streaks I see on the pelvic fins (might just be bad photos), so to be 100% sure i'd like to have a clear picture of the vents. Females have more of a U shape vent while males have a V shape vent below their anus.

Vent looks male but like mine the black throws some doubt in... Wait and see if the fins turn black... Most agree you can't sex em reliably till 7-8 inch.

More vent pics shortly
