Since I lost my pride and joy monster dovii a couple of weeks ago I have been debating on what to go with to replace him. As much as I love keeping dovii I'm just not interested in putting up with the two years of them being shy again. I finally decided that I am going to attempt to get a pair of Umbees. From what I understand they are much less shy and a joy to keep. I placed my order this morning for eight 1-1/2" dovii from Mike's Cichlids. They will be arriving tomorrow so pictures will be coming once I have a chance to get them settled in.

Here is the fish they will be replacing. He was 17.75" long and 3 lbs 13 ounces.

Those don't look like Dovii fry? They look like Umbees!

The fish in my 300 just look at the new little guys like a snack.

Well the little dudes and dudettes are eating a little more every day. I have to put some flake in to get their attention and then drop some of Mike's 2mm slow sinking food. Once I put the food in I have to get away from the tank. They still don't trust the big ugly guy that sets around watching them for hours a day.

Daily update. Little guys are getting a little braver and they will come out once I stand by the tank a couple of minutes. They are eating a little more. Only down side is that there may only be seven now. That is the most I have been able to see at one time. Granted there are 8 little fish in a 210 gallon tank so I certainly could just not be seeing the eighth one.
 
Hey is this Bruce? This is Justin that talks to you on Facebook all the time... Glad to see you're on MFK!
