I'm so very sad that despite frantic treatment my largest male Umbee succumbed to a infection this morning that developed from some injuries he sustained being overly boistorious as usual with the tank decor. He was 43cm SL long and weighed 1130 grams at the time of his death.
He was a true beast of a fish and despite my hands frequently suffering from his substancial teeth during water changes I will miss him greatly.

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :(

A pic of him during happier times.
