Here are some more pics of my new umbee. This guy is a beast. I noticed that this species is very curious. Its his second day and he has colored up alot. Also comes up to the glass to check me out when i am near. I think he does not like my dog when he comes near the tank lol.

Hope you guys like it. Thanks for looking













 
I will soon start on trying to breed him. I am getting 3 wild females this week for him. So hopefully he will pair up with one or two.
 
A buddy of mine also a MFKER GMFISHNUT. He hand picked this guy last year when Jeff RApps Imported the 1st batch of wild umbees. I bought the umbee off him. HE is wild from Rio Magdelena.
 
very nice and im glad he is settling in for you. good luck on pairing that beast up bro:)
 
Yeah I am crossing my fingers.George Said that he killed his long time female. So hoping he will play nice. He is not timid at all. Comes up to greet me already and its the third day. He still hasnt eaten though. HE goes to the bottom when I feed the rest of the fish. I guess he is not used to the feeding frenzy that goes on during feeding time. Any advice or tips on this species? I am new to umbees. Been keeping Amphs and breeding dovii.
 
Wait till u see lil private. He is growing and he is looking really nice like Papa General
 
Dont worry be patient with these guys. he is a big bastard and can go a week or two without eating. he'll eat when he's hungry and it wont matter who else is in the tank;) as far as breeding go i would say have separate tank for pairing with no other fish or remove the tankmates from 300. then work the divider technique:) It can be a challenge pairing umbees when the males are over 14"
 
Yeah George said his first pair he had no problem. They paired up and stodd together with no problems. This one had a female spawned a few times then he came home one day and she was done. Just worried on the size of the female. Getting 3 wild females at around 7in. Will be getting them this thursday. Trying to find a bigger female like 10in that would be ideal. I got some rock work that the females can hide when the male is in IKE beat Tina mode. lol
