umbee sex?

[PMK]

I got a couple of umbees ive been growing out and this is the biggest at about 6 inches i was wondering if you guys could sex him or her. Im hoping for a male of course but who knows this ones trailers have been growing and the coloring has really started to come out recently though.

[PMK]

So we have to conflicting answers anyone else want to help me out here

total female, i've owned them before. 90% of the umbess you'll buy will be female. males are much more uncommon.

 

[PMK]

hey roliva. seems like your the main man to ask about umbees
what is the major difference between M+F?? from keeping many cichlids i would say that PMK's looks like a male. long flowing dorsal fin, coloured freckles , straight body line and red on tyop of the dorsal fin!!! are these a really hard fish to sex

His is 110% male. I sent you a pm.
