My New Umbee! Check it out!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
How fast do these guys grow or how fast are they supposed to grow right now they are feeding on omega one flakes and a little bit of omega one freeze dried tubifex worms but mainly the flakes. Their mouths are still very tiny. I would like to get them on something with more protein but I guess that will have to do until they get bigger

Oh I know man the stronger will kill off the weaker overnight before I can do anything about it. (No deaths yet knock on wood) If there was the first 48 tv show for fish the umbee would be the biggest killer lol. I plan to separate the ones that stand out as the "show quality" ones and the others I plan to seperate too but in the end I can't keep them all as full grown adults. I'm probably only going to keep the best four or six of the batch like 2 male and 2 female or 3 male and 3 female and sell off the rest once they grow out. They will all look pretty good though it's just a matter of what I end up liking but yes I do plan on having a couple that get culled involuntarily on my part just due to the aggressiveness of the fish but I am going to do my best to keep fatality rates at a low

I found with baby umbees 2 inch + per a month is quite easy, my mate who had some also was growing them much faster too.

We had a fair few but only had 3 left in the end, other fish growing with them were fine but umbees dont tolerate one another imo.

Sounds good man and also did you only have three left because they killed eachother or because something else ?

Man that sucks....as of today it appears they grew overnight with the exception of a few. I was out all day and finally looked at them just now and you can tell a coupple are bigger but one stands out the most he/she is bigger and is already showing lots of blue. I think he/she may be a nice male possibly lets just hope he dosent go all rambo and become an assassin overnight Like yours did...I would be very upset haha and also these things can eat a ton they are like never ending pits it might just be because they are still fry.I feed them lightly crushed flakes about once or twice every couple hours and it seems they just want more and more which is maybe another reason they are growing so much

lmao stupid auto correct, I was trying to ask how much it cost you for all of them or for each?

I have been seeing growth of about an inch a month from those I'm guessing are male from my grow outs. So far they haven't tried to kill each other, but they are also in a 300g tank with 2 juvenile jags, 6 tinfoil barbs, and 2 sun cats to keep them company.
