Description
Umbee Cichlid (Caquetaia umbrifera) is a large, intelligent, and highly territorial predatory fish native to the rivers of Colombia and Panama. Known for its striking metallic blue-green coloration and fierce personality, the Umbee commands respect among monster fish keepers. Males can grow over 20 inches and develop bold patterns and a prominent nuchal hump with age. Despite their aggression, they are admired for their alert behavior and strong bond with their owner, often recognizing faces and responding to movement outside the tank. This species thrives best in a spacious aquarium with powerful filtration and a solitary or carefully chosen setup.
