Wow.. nice looking fish.

looking good!

found my little female this morning, minus her head.

Sucks!

thanks everyone. @madness that sucks. do you know the culprit?

No. I am dealing with a lot of cuts and wounds on fish lately. Its quite odd. Its not just one tank, its in all of them

They are supposed to have heads.

geez madness that's a main reason I've eliminated community tanks cause i got tired of dealing with issues and everything is now stress free

I have had more frustration trying to get fish to get along that I totally understand you fishman. It seems like a fish is constantly getting torn up. Maybe I should get rid of the community thing too...

imo theresnothing better than a single cohesive pair in a tank. so peaceful and watching tgem interact together is the coolest thing

BORING!!!!!!!!!!

I only have 5 community tanks, the rest are grow outs, babies, our pairs

only 5 community tanks lol I only have 5 tanks outside of a 29 and 10 which are gonna be mainly fry tanks

just finished setting the 400gal stand in place, gonna use it for 4 breeding pairs

thats gonna be an epic tank if all the pairs get along and dont rip eachother apart. my dovii wont even allow a pair of cons a 1 foot square in their tank. i think they became lunch lol cichlids can be so tempermental.

Ya its going to be interesting. The pairs are going to be, 11" blue devil/9"barred red devil, 12"Bifasciatus/a female soon to be here, 11" M/6" F RTM, the last pair may be my Hoga's (but dontwant any crossing between them and the devils), possibly my 12" M/8" F Argentea, or my 8" M Red Tex/5" F

Thats enough about mine, I will start my own thread when I get it going. This one is about that redonculous looking Umbee with those amazing blues.

The word redonculous is redonculous

they look close to spawning and are just doing very very well. the male has put on a solid inch since i got him and is about 6" and the female is about 5.5". they getting friskier by the day with lots of displaying and head shaking by the male and shes been nudging him. also love the lack off aggression between the two which worried me about pairing umbees but so far so good. most all with flaskh as they like to hang in the dark areas of the tank but threw in a non flash to show that crazy blue. thanks
