My Umbee Growth journal

Sounds about right, you have to remember a 3 inch umbee is about 4/6 month old at least

Just a quick video of one of my little guys getting his snack stolen.

Well, quick update. Getting quite abit of nipping going on now, nothing major or life threatening but can start to tell these guys wont tolerate each other when they get some more size on them. No one seems to want to choose a side just alot of random chasing and dive bomb attacks. as you can see from the scale damage. One of my guys got a good bite to the side of his head. But alittle tea tree oil and clean water should fix things right up. I got a new lens for my camera so forgive me while I practice.

They look good, what camera do you have and what lense did you just get?

isde02 I have a Cannon Rebel XTi
And I just got a Promaster aspherical Ld 28-200mm lense. I'm pretty new to photography and some one gave me this lense so I'm trying it out.

That's great! I'm still learning alot of the different works of my camera and probably took 50 pictures that I hated but these came out OK. Not saying much since their not great. But I'll get it. I still need to find different flashes. Since I'm using the built in one. And half the time I have to battle that when taking pictures of fish with the reflection blinding me.

I know it's alittle early. But I might as well put it out there. If anyone is in Florida and is willing to take one or two of these off me, eventually here I will have to remove some of the extra's.
