My Umbee and Blackbelt

[Justin Holland]

Hey guys just wanted to post a few shots of my fish.

A few Umbee shots. This is the female in breeding dress for a short time.

The male is F1 from Mr. Mann Cichlids.

Female is from a local guy who needed to thin his stock. Not sure on the source

More of the female. She has turned into a very nice fish.

Now for the Blackbelt. He or she is about 5" and seriously aggressive. Can't house it with any tankmates.

Not sure why the pictures are sideways all of the sudden

Thanks Dan. I'm new to the forum. Been keeping fish for approximately 3 years. Done lots of research on these Umbee. On the hunt for an upgrade now. Need a 220 or larger.

Beautiful fish! How big are the umbees?

Those fish look amazing! Imo, black belts are one of the more underated fish in their genus. I've kept a few in the past and they always are the first to eat and they always would follow me around the tank.

Nice fish! I was unaware that Mr. Mann had any wild umbees? But he knows his fish better than me. It just so happens I have 2 (220) gallon tanks I need to part ways with. Both were used to keep very large umbees. If you are local shoot me a text 240-372-0601

Great pics. You should join CCA, you would definitely be tearing up PTOM with some of these shots

The male is about 10". Sad to say, he killed the female yesterday... no good.

How do I join ? Also, thanks for the compliment, it takes a lot of shots to find a good one. Lol !

Love my Blackbelt, he's been with me since 1.5" , now at 6".
