Thanks everyone.
They are my favourite species.
Very few people keeping umbees down under, they are hard to get and about $20 to $30AUD each at 1.5inches. Not many people know what they are either.
Mine spawned this afternoon, 6th spawn i think, I'll get a vid up coz they look amazing today!!!
On the weekend I plumbed a valve and T piece into my outlet from the Eheim 2180 so now can just turn some valves and send water straight into my laundry drain.
Had to cold chisel through a wall but well worth it.
I've been selling the odd juvie here n there but I think only 6 to 12 people keep umbees in Perth. Some more on the east coast for sure.
I'm glad to hear you think my male is quality, we can not import any more due to import laws here.
He was 2 inches when I got him n paired up with the 4 inch female when he was just over 3.5 inches.
He is quite larger then her now though.
Thanks again for all the encouraging posts, I'm off to get a vid.
