umbee male getting pearls

[ralph3545g]

this fish is changing in front of me , im thinking he's gonna blue over , im hoping ....the last pic is the female , the ***** from hell . she looks small in the pic but she's about 9 1/2 inches , really probably 10 and if she cant beat them she nags them to death until they give up ...

WOW! Both are extremely beautiful Umbees.

What size is the male? When and how where you able to sex the two before they colored up? Nice Umbees by the way.

i thought this fish was female , i always thought it was a pretty female , his color was nothing like his brother and this fish started changing only a week ago at 9 inches . that is a late start even for umbee's . i came into the room and sat down next to the tank and laughed , i new he was a male . i was hella happy. i was looking for a pattern similar to his brother , not the case ,totally different ...here's pics of the brother who changed at about 5 inches , that's pretty quik ..these pics were taken last week , he's 13 now .....
