so, any words of wisdom to aspiring umbee owners?

also, males darken as they age right?

Buy your umbies from a trusted vendor. Some vendors vent them and keep all the males. When you do buy them, be patient. Just cuz it looks like a female or male doesnt mean that it is. 4-5" will be the size of more accurate sexing. All the tell tale signs of a male are true, but many females show these traits as well, so grow them out. Females are nice too, and are also in demand when larger. If we all keep tossing out the females, how are our male umbies ever gonna get some!:(

Thanks for the advice its not a immediate plan, but i think i might get get 4-5 and grow them out...

The only problem would be tank space...
