the pair is sweet man I don't know whats up with some of the larger umbees but they seem to have a problem closing their mouth all the way his has happened several times speaking from experience it also happend to Umbeeking's male and this one also its kinda weird that it happens anyone know why??
he,s always had a big mouth , his mouth is fine and he uses it for everything as he gets bigger that mouth will probably stay open im guessing . ive had trimac,midas and a 15 inch flowerhorn whose mouth stayed open all the tiime, just thick big and ugly ,but awsome fish and i really wanted to keep him but i have to many babies over here. this fish always slams the front of the tank and i mean hella hard , he's just a big fish but more than 1 person asked so thats why i lowered the price to 200 bucks , i just wanted to get him a home ,he's gone friday or saturday and ill miss fighting with him , only 1 other umbee i had in more than 25 years looked as good as him. i have 4 tanks the smallest is 125 and the biggest is my 200 flat so i thought of getting another tank for him but i just downsized about 4 years ago because i was by myself in the house again , i got rid of the 400 gallon ,135 and a 150 , im only 46 but im keeping the fish now , there not keeping me anymore , lol , anyhow im really gonna miss the big guy ....
thanks everyone for comments , i made another video of him last night before he goes . he got beaten , everything was cool and i went in there last night and she was taking him to town ,so i saved him . i really made the vid to show the other female but you can also see where the other umbee tore him back ...its on you tube under umbee pair 10.07.2010 ...he's doing better today ...
