I purchased this male 7" Rio Mag Umbee, an offspring of "The General", from Freshwaterpredator... the same night I acquired a 5"-6" female Rio Mag from the same line from BlesOne. Both arrived December 21st. They were placed in a tank together, divided of course and within a week the divider was removed and they were introduced (or re-introduced as I was told by BlesOne that they use to be a pair). Within a week both dropped their tubes and they made a strawberry pot their breeding grounds. As of today, they are sitting on a batch of approximately 200-250 free swimming fry. So in conclusion.... "The General" bloodline continues.
and yes, these two paired off naturally and spawned around 3.5-4" before I sent the female to blesone. Lookin forward to the general line continueing. I'm glad that some people appreciate that bloodline
, I thought I'd update the thread with a couple pictures. They've been moved into a 270g. tank with a portion of the tank divided to house a separate X-Mag male. I separated these the pair for a couple months to give the female a break from spawning. The male has put on some size since the original post.
