Pics of my Umbee

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Thanks guys-actually I originally got him from Rapps that is pretty much the only guy I will get my fish from-I think it is a male-What do you guys/gals think?
 
its starting to look like a male...but if you want a positive 100% guess thats right...just go take him out of the for and flip him upside down and vent him..."U" for Female and "V" Male. Should be easy unless it keeps wiggling and stuff, just try it out
 
Well yesterday I thought and thought more and decided to do two things:
1. Set up my pond which I did!!
2. I ordered some fish from Rapps and I am really pumped-this will be the ultimate monster cichlid tank in history-anyways here is what I ordered:
Dovii
Jag
Festae
Trimac
Red Devil
Escondido
Black Belt I plan to put them in my 240 gallon and set up my divider.
Once the pond is cycled I will put the Umbee in there and when the other 7 are large enough introduce them to the pond-if every thing works this will be an awesome set up-should I add other fish or would that be pushing it-even for a 1032 gallon pond-I was thinking Black and Varigated Shark maybe an Achara Catfish.
 
man your so lucky to have an umbee. the wife says a 8ft tank for one 2ft long fish is too much. im seriously disappointed with her attitude towards my hobby :nilly:
very nice fish by the way.
 
Thanks-do what I did just by the tank then tell the wife-she'll be mad for awhile but will get over it-that is what I did with the pond-LOL-then I told my wife it could be worse I could be addicted to drugs or something illegal-there worse things than being obsessed with fish! LOL!
