I'm from South Florida and I went cast net fishing in the local canal and caught two small umbee cichlids

Beautiful . Thanks for sharing all your beautiful fish . I Subscribed

[@stefanroeleven]

Great umbee thanks for sharing subbed👍

[@erick6102]

I have one Oscar in a 180 in my office and it’s SO easy to maintain compared to my heavy stocked African cichlid tank, ha.

[@COOPERSCICHILDS]

Excellent

[@BenOchart]

LOVE that fish Steve and I’m happy to see you so back in the game. Now I’m thinking SA Cichlids...

[@NEONASMR]

nice

[@fishywishes8150]

What an absolutely beautiful fish!! Thank you for sharing this great video.

[@tommy2tone8650]

Beautiful tank and fish.

[@JustMyFish]

He is a stunning fish. He has a great shape and I see his colours coming. Thanks Steve.

[@cichlidstrainhunter3607]

Really nice Lake Guatape Umbee!

[@rannik1281]

You always have a super clean setup. Your umbee is amazing!

[@henryadriel001]

Where can I get a 220 gallon but not for 2000 bucks

[@today12341]

He's looking amazing!! Look forward to more updates on this guy.

[@philthyphill8753]

I miss all the Peacocks and Haps

[@HONDAFORLIFEDUDE]

do you no were i can get 3 to 4 in Yellow Labidochromis

[@Sinnick11]

I think you should consider changing the substrate to a black sand. The umbee will try to match the color of his environment will turn much darker. I think it would really emphasize his blues. Beautiful fish man!

[@jackburton6998]

I bet the camera can not do this fish justice. He is awesome.

[@ultimatefishkeeping8]

Thankyou for sharing this. I gave the video a like. He is a beautiful fish, great pick, well done.

[@laurit3116]

Umbi is absolutely stunning!

[@jzaquatics3670]

Nice fish first but I would never left the Africans

[@evolvng]

What type of stand substrate are you using? It looks like ADA La Plata sand. Love the Umbee!!!

[@StevePolandAquatics]

It’s Caribsea

[@adeelshaikh2129]

Nice name and put the big rocks in the tank look nice

[@somethingfishyinc.5313]

Hey Steve looking good... Have a recommendation. Adjust the intakes of the filters at a angle or higher or cover the intakes with a sponge pad to reduce the sand going into the filter/Motors and causing damage. Parts etc not cheap to fix these. me Dave :)

[@StevePolandAquatics]

Hey Dave! I appreciate the advice. I have always tended to have the intakes as low as possible to pull in as much poop as possible. But that’s probably less important with this guy because his poop is mostly too large to fit through the grates anyway. Maybe I will move them up. Of course this jerk likes to take huge mouthfuls of sand and spit them right at the intake so I’m probably screwed either way.

[@rymaccichlids5999]

Wow he is beautiful tank is looking great Steve always been a big fan of you I will check out the site

[@Cichlids23]

Stunner..

[@aro9aquatics917]

Steve u are absolutely my fav. I just love how ur vids are simple straight to the point. I wish you had the “gallery” and made that content instead. I’ve made your inline heater and now copying your water change system. Wish I was into that umbee but sadly not my thing. But more vids please!

[@StevePolandAquatics]

Thanks! Umbee wasn’t my thing either until last year so you never know!

[@joet6494]

He's a beauty Steve.

[@orestiss7476]

[@ericj1500]

Man he looks really colored up since the lite was up. Nee name is fitting all thinhs considering lol. Thanks for sharing friend and have a great day

[@MbunaMarcus]

Such a beauty...americans are amazing

[@AqualifeTv]

What a beauty 😍

[@LifebyBrianAquatics]

Hi, Steve. It's been a while since I've caught one of your videos. I have to agree, that fish is absolutely gorgeous. This is my first time seeing him. Well done! I am moving back to central Ohio shortly, after having lived in China for most of the past seven years. I would love to do a collab video at some point if you'd be interested. I'll have to start my whole hobby over, so in the meantime I'm hoping to visit some nearby hobbyists and see what they've got going on. Keep up the great work.

[@CribsNL]

Really like you dont have plants in your tank, really looking for info as a starter without Plants....

[@ryansilva83]

What name did you decide on for the fish?

[@StevePolandAquatics]

I have a short list but no final name yet

[@aquacat_]

Amazing fish! What are you feeding this guy? And do you have a name for him? :)

[@StevePolandAquatics]

No name yet. But there is a short list. I’m feeding him Northfin Carnivore and Northfin Jumbo

[@usamahaboo8295]

He's smiling

[@thusharj]

Thats a lot of filtration for just 1 fish! Looks nice tho👌

[@StevePolandAquatics]

It's a big fish! And thanks!

[@kalterkakaozumfruhstuck1515]

South American Cichlids are the Most intelligent Fishes. They are Like Dogs!! You have to Keep Oscars ( i Love Oscars) or Red Devils...Amazing Animals. They have win my Heart Forever!!! So think about Oscars, Doovi, Red Devils or Jack Dempseys.

[@willman43]

Great update. Beautiful fish. Get him a girlfriend!
