where EVERY things LEGAL :)
Given everyones assumptions of the sex of the fish I had posted I had to create a new post so those who thought could see that HE really is a SHE just incase you didn't check back :grinno:. @ some point or the other SHE had us all fooled as she is a remarkable specimen and given that she breaks all the sure thought signs of a female. Hopfully soon she will be bred and the quality can be spread through the hobby. Introducing the HBIC - Ms. Z :drool::naughty:

photo when she was still 5-6" or so and I was hoping male

With genetics like that you could probably feed her dried rabbit turds & she'd still look nice. :)
 
WHAT lol she is amazing looking, just curious how are you certain this fish is female? I don't doubt you I've just never seen a female that nice looking and I've seen a ton of umbee pictures. Is she always this colorful or does it change with mood? How many loc Z fish do you have? Do u have any males we could also see?

Ya know, I am not an umbee kinda guy. I mean, they're cool and all of that, but I guess I just don't have the... "thing"... for them I have seen others have. To each his own, you know?

But I gotta say... THAT is one REALLY nice looking fish! Wow... she just really pops, in my opinion! Nice blues, very nice freckles! Wow again!

110% CERTAIN SHE is a SHE and yes she is always this beautiful or better in person. Her tube is sticking out some now and she has also tried breeding with my big Panama Green male. Here are some pics of a male Z.
