Help me sex my umbee!!!

[Zukobongolo]

I have a umbee who is now 9 inches and I still don't know if it is a female or male. I thought by now he would have alot more colour and if it was a female she would start to have a black fin. Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks everyone.

That’s a big female. I think it’s a female not a fact.

Need more pictures for others to help out

Give it some time and he will be a stunner. Umbees don't start out with amazing color they get better with age

My male back when I got him and him now. There's about 8 months difference between the pics. Once they hit the 12" mark they become a completely different fish. Give it time and it will be a beautiful evil monster lol

Thank you. I just picked up another pair lol. One of my favorite fish by far. Your male is going to grow up to look great. Just give him some time.
