did a water change and syphon yesterday and while the water was low i decided to take out my umbee to try get a vent shot. i'm spewin i didn't get a tape measure out before i netted my umbee, but i'd say it's definitely 7" maybe slightly bigger.

can anyone vent it?

cheers

looks male to me. Vshape vent i believe is male.
 
Id guess female...:irked: Looks really rounded at the point. Most males I have seen have a pronounced V look to it.
 
can you post a pic of entire fish? hard to say with vent pics. at 7" it should be fairly easy to sex.
 
stunning specimen, from those vent pics its kinda hard to tell... but im gunna go with the female..

the flash kinda makes it hard to tell.
 
I think a shot of the entire fish would help me too sex your umbee. I've been told that if there's any black on their dorsal fins it indicates a female??? I'm sure others can confirm this and other things to look for w/o having to vent them.
 
looks male to me, with lots of specs!
