UMBEE growout

Cheer up dude. You've got a great looking female fish there. I understand you wanted a male, but grow out this girl a bit, and maybe you'll be able to trade her for something nice! Perhaps there are others out there looking for a nice female and you could ask for some of the fry?!

Just hold on to your umbee. There have been cases of very late bloomers. I too have been disappointed with dominant juvies ending up female.

When they're this young, I always look to see if the end of the dorsal is starting to show any sign of extension growth, a definite trait of a potential male.

Good luck.

a couple of pics from tonight. pretty sure it's a female but hopefully i'll be able to find a male for her later on down the track

From the little bit of vent I can see in the first shot I'd say female. Not pointy enough to be male.

yeah i agree with ya MM. 90% sure it's a girl. nice one though so i'm not that disappointed
