Hard to tell when young I thought mine was male turned out to be female.

Very nice Umbee, I envy those with enough space to keep these beautiful beasts.

very nice....both umbee and dovii are awesome species

yeah they are my 2 favourite fish. it's great being able to own both

The UMBEE is the total package. Size, Beauty and Strength. Yours is looking excellent!

they are awesome to watch and quite interactive with me. all 3 of my umbees are pigs and just don't stop eating LOL

got any pics of that female. also what gave it away in the end to make it a female?

they don't need a massive tank straight away so you can always save for a bigger tank while it's growing out. thats what i'm doing anyway

couple of new shots without the flash. starting to get the hang of the settings on the DSLR, but a tripod would make the shots alot more crisp.

anyone wanna take a stab at it's sex?

Notice the black on the dorsal and the pelvic fins. dead give away for a female. Wow u lucked out on a male. They are hard to get.

That female pic belongs to GMFISHNUT. Great pic. You should see his male.

Fin, body, and head shape still say female to me. But I've been wrong before.
