My Gorillus- Possible pair

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Thank you everyone for the nice comments. I'm truly enjoying these umbees, a complete joy:) I feed this guy the same diet as my other fish except this guy doesn't waste anything. The only thing I clean out of this tank is fish poo lol.
 
Thank you guys:) I have three more Gorillus which i believe ae all male. Here is a pic of the largest out of the 3 around 5-5.5" and just starting to color up. He now has a tank all to himself, after these pics and the color is coming in better than in the pics. but here you can see what to look for in the males that are just getting ready:) not the best pics but its what i got for now. also the three males are available for sale.

Hang tight Mike! The dominate males wont start to turn until 5.5 - 6inches. First the anal fin will grow long and pointed then a light greenish blue sheen will appear underneath the eye and nares region and a dead give away its a male is a strong metallic blue color will form on the upper operculum. I haven't seen any female Gorillus blue with it yet And from that point on the black arrives :) Heres an updated picture of HELLSCREAM. If you look back at my first post on this guy his color wasn't in like it is now. The bigger this fish gets the more his adult coloration came in :)
