You've made the right choice. Umbees are beautiful.
FINALLY!!! Perfect choice of fish man. I've always wanted either an umbee or a dovii I just don't have the space for such a huge tank to house one permanently. I hope you enjoy him and I'm really looking forward to some more videos with this beauty. Congrats steve!!
Honestly I was sceptical about your one fish idea. This is seriously amazing.
It was because of this fish that i decided on an electric blue jack Dempsey as the center piece for my show tank. I dont have the room to house an umbee so i had to look for something smaller but loved those blue freckles and body shape. Thank you for this video!
EBJD was on my short list. Good choice!
Never heard of an Umbee but glad to see it now. Beautiful fish. Thanks for sharing.
Murder machine
Aww man I’m jealous, love these guys!!!!
Been waiting for the reveal Steve, awesome choice man 👍👍 lighting looks awesome.
Wow! That's a beautiful fish! Good job!
My friend has a 17 inch umbee in a 220 and it's outgrown it lol. Beautiful fish. Welcome to the REAL cichlids
Nice to have you back.
Gorgeous umbee
Great Choice! I hope to own one someday
WOW!! He is cool, he looks like a huge geophagus Brasiliensis? I've never seen these in person but I have seen alot of pictures like you were talking about.... awesome fish Steve!!!
Such a great pick!
Nice Fish! I really like looking at Andy Woods Central American Fish. He is a very talented fishkeeper. His fish are absolutely beautiful! For me I'm too in love with African Cichlids. Preferably Tanganyikans. Great video Steve as always!
What a beauty! I'd get in touch with Dayton Aquarium Pros for the best type of lighting. I watched one of there Umbee videos and they have nice lighting to show off all the colors of the fish.
Awesome looking fish
such a beauty! thanks for sharing it with us!
They are awesome
Absolutely beautiful fish dude.
Beautiful big guy
Finally got the Beast very nice
I subscribed today as I've watched of your videos and they are cool .
Nice choice the blue speckled monster .
I love him you chose well. Did you know that blue popps under Red green lights. Thanks for sharing.
Wow that guy is cool neber heard of that species but super colorful, thanks for sharing friend and have a great day brother man.
Super cool Steve I don’t know anything about those fish looking forward to new vids
Congrats on the new fish. Would like to see him in regular lighting.
Great choice.
The blue lighting gives the Umbee more of a mystique. Northfin is truly agreeing with your wet pet; you chose very well‼️
Jumped into Umbees, nice
Goes from lake to small box....very nice
I have 2 Gorillus Black Umbee
Very nice aquarium! 👍👍👍
Thanks for the great video!
Great Choice
On and off subbed to you in the past because I like your style, just didn't like Africans.....but now I'm subbed for good. Umbee are my favorite all time fish.
He's clearly not used to his reflection showing he's wildcaught
Awesome Umbee!
Wow, didn't know that you would head to this direction. I've been subscribed to you for a while but I'm not an African cichlid guy. Glad you made the decision. I'm jelous I can't get ca sa cichlids in my country. Especially wild caught ones
Sweet choice!
This fish is so awesome
Looks awesome Steve.
As for a name you could call him "Gumby" and if you ever got him a tank mate name him "Pokey"! :)
This is awesome
great looking fish, needs a more natural looking light to show is true colors.
Quite the change but an awesome one
Nice..............I got a 300 Sitting in the Garage (Acrylic) when your ready!
amazing fish 👍
NICE!!!
Waiting for the "too small of a tank" comments.. I suggested an Umbee from your first videos, there were several "experts" in comments section mentioning the tank was too small.
I started and still have some Africans; but recently purchased a hybrid South American. She also has the blue freckles. I believe they said she was supposed to be part Texas cichlid, part Red Devil. Eating from my hand now. Very cool. Am deciding that Africans are not as personable as South Americans. Don't know where I will go from here, but totally understand your transition. You have a beautiful interactive fish!
Jerome Perner yeah I never liked africans, except for Tanganyikans. They have such bland personalities compared to ca sa cichlids
Absolutely a beautiful fish, my question is do they breed in captivity?
Yes
Perfect I like it a lot
Meu, seus videos são top parabéns!!
If it's not a dovii , then best be an umbee!!!
Brant there are alot more to chose from why limit yourself to two species?
Brant Agreed sir. Lol.
Great fish Steve! Love all the projects. I'm keeping juvenile festae (red terrors) currently. Can you recommend a good South American Cichlid channel? Most of the quality channels I've found are African enthusiasts. Thanks!
YEEESSS!!!!!
Good choice there's no cichlid quite like an umbee!
Corey's Cichlids Eh-Hem "DOVII"
Valz Albo I agree a Dovii is right up there but my personal favorite from owning the two would be an umbee for me!
Corey's Cichlids You must have had a dudd dovii in that case LMAO. JK. Each to their own.
I went with a dovii. Where did you get your driftwood
Beautiful specimen Steve. I thought you might try a Jaguar but the Umbi is gorgeous. The fish, wood and sand look awesome. What type and brand of sand is that by the way ?
Carib sea
Thanks Steve, there are so many types of Carib Sea do you remember the actual one you used.
African Cichlid mix
How can you tell if a fish is wild-caught
Ron Villa you get it from a reputable importer. Visually it isn't possible
What a Beauty!! But I'm partial to Colombians.
Dude what light do you use? It looks amazing! Bid you use a purple light or something?
Wow, very nice steve. Light is to blue, probably its not the same in real
perfect !
Where did u get ur fishes from
Maybe name him Umbert? Like an Albert but an Umbee
very cool, his fins look great. do you ever feed him any shrimp or anything?
I haven’t yet but I may do that. Wanted to stick with food that I was familiar with and trusted in these early days.
Post more of the Ohio fish rescue
hi i want to know how much i the fish i like to have one to
Where can I buy of your fish?
What’s your opinion on Northfin or Xtreme? I’ve been feeding Xtreme to my peacocks and Haps for 2 years now. They love it and are healthy and have great color. I bought some Northfin and tried feeding it multiple times and they spit it out. Which food do you think is better. What’s your opinion. I’ve been feeding my Super Red Flowerhorn northfin and his Red has faded. What are you feeding your new guy
I’m feeding this guy Northfin Carnivore and Northfin Jumbo. Flowerhorns are kind of a different deal and I know there are a lot of foods made specifically to bring out their color that might be a better choice for him. But with your africans I wouldn’t worry if they spit it out at first. When I first got this Umbee he spit it out for at least a week. Now he mows it down. But also if Xtreme is working for you then don’t stress about switching.
Not tempted to get him a female mate ? Great job on the tank 👍
Beautiful fish sir
Please guys don’t buy it if you guys can’t afford 500 gallons tank
El ponchis Rodríguez isn't 500 too much? I know bigger is better, but I think footprint is more important than volume.
Any update vids on this guy
ruclips.net/video/w6Kez3UIkQs/видео.html
Nice
Nice fish Steve
Any plans on getting a mate?
Not at this time. May change my mind someday
Where do you get those driftwood?
Local fish store in Cleveland, Something Fishy
Never seen or heard of this fish, great looking. How big will he get?
24 inches
Any updates on this guy ?
He’s still good. Growing and being an a-hole as expected
I got a pictus catfish this report said the cleaner catfish this catfish is fast i have rock in my tank they like to hide
Did you have to change the ph for it?
No
Damn..you moved to the darkside...congrats :)
Haha I’ve been waiting for this man!
beautiful specimen though...it's like having dog lol
Awesome tank and fish, but why support wild-caught? I know this is a widely debated topic, but with so many captive-bred fish available, I have a difficult time purchasing wild-caught fish and supporting such practices at this day and age.
It’s a fair question. I didn’t specifically seek out a wild caught fish. I just wanted the best fish I could find. I have mixed feelings myself about wild caught but more in situations like Malawi where it’s causing real issues with the native fish populations. These Umbees aren’t being overfished, at least not at this collection point, as Chris is the only one importing them as far as I know.
Thanks for the reply, Steve. Love your tanks and channel - I hope one day to have such organized setups. :)
Looks like a Jack Dempsy
Harvey Yong Don't insult that beautiful umbee.
Sir.what is the best food for chiclid fry they grow fast tell me food name ????
Northfin krill pro
Thanks
Wait thats your only fish now? Hah, what happened to all your other cichlids or did I miss something?
You from poland 🇵🇱??
have always wondered!
No
Poland is actually an English name
I really look up to you and what you do for the Hobby! Thank YOU!
Hey there, I'm a fellow aquarium enthusiast and i just noticed that you and I have similar taste in youtube subjects. I wouldn't normally ask folks unsolicited, however I am trying to build a community of like minded viewers and looking for constructive feedback.
I'm trying to personally message folks about my new channel, rather than annoyingly spamming with ads or asking; "will you do a sub for a sub? "
I hope you may like some of my videos. If you have a minute, I would deeply appreciate it if you could please consider taking a minute to look at my channel and see if you're interested in it. Also, what you think I could do to improve my content and subject matter.

Only one fish and one tank?! Man your crashing hard Steve! I can't watch this anymore..
