New umbee

[Numbnuts]

Just received 5 umbees from a fellow MFKer. I'm stoked. Had umbees before but bought them at 6"+. First time I've had umbee frys. They're in a 75 currently with a midevil 3" FH 2", marble pleco and a small catfish. Once they get larger and/or pair up, Ima move up in tank size and to a 150. Any advice tips n stories are welcome, ty.

Definitely going to need more space as they get bigger, umbees can be very aggressive. What type of catfish is it?

Eclipse Catfish

Add about 100 Oscars to the 150 gallon, and youll be ALL SET!

You will need a bigger tank for 1 or a pair they get pretty grumpy.

I would think 300 or more would be a minimum for a pair?

180 is possible.
