Well I was bored the other day and since i have a female divided with this guy i thought id pull the divider and see what happens;) lol even though i am planning on using this female for one of my location X males. Well to my amazement this lil guy went straight to it!! he is only 4.5" and he was one of my runts from a couple spawns ago but i held on to him cause i have a soft spot for runts:) And it looks as if these two may pair off which would be very sweet since i lost his parents and now i might have me a replacement:naughty:
This guy will be a stunner and i cant wait till hes a beast! he is from the same batch as the male that Nyjetsfan has. but here is a lil video of him and a little female.

nice umbee .... took a video of mine but didnt look as nice on video then it does irl
 
i dont know how you do it but you are the man when it comes to breeding! Nice he really reminds me of his daddy. Great Job :)

anyhow..Bro be ready for the Z umbee ;) he's looking superb!!
 
He is a little stud.

Trying to show off for the lady.

My guy has been doing a lot of the flaring and showing off like yours but no ladies are present.

Still has not eaten in 11 days.

Belly sunken in and I'm very concerned now.
 
O ya buddy, That is some real UMBEE LOVE there. That young pair is off the chain. He is a future stud foresure. I would hang on to him.

thank you bro:) and with yours not eating... how frequently do you feed him when he did eat? alot of us hobbiests including me overfeed our fish. theres a possibility that he is still proccessing his food from the last week. the larger they get the less times they need to be fed. Like the general would eat onces every couple days at times. you can also try adding garlic to your food or he may have a parasite. but i wouldnt try feeding him again until he comes up to eat during normal feedings
 
I've found with my dovii if I give him a feed off mealworms when he's not eating his pellets the next day he goes to town on massivore
 
I pulled the divider again today after i replaced the gravel and re-did the aquascape. Here is a new video of my New Umbee Pair:headbang2:headbang2 I am naming him 5-Star as in 5 Star General:grinno: that way he doesnt get confused with N.Y.Jetsfans since he already named his General JR. I really like his look with darker substrate and i think he likes his new set up and new girl;)

If Jr General does not eat soon , he may die from starvation.

You may take over the Jr general title quite possibly.

If anyone has advice on how to entice him to eat or turn on the appatite let me know.

I tried krill , hikari cichlid bio gold , hikari floating carnivore sticks and no luck.
