Tony they look amazing !!!!!!!!!!
Your photos just blow me away.
I see your fish have developed that dark shading behind the eye, just the same as mine. Must be something to do with the region they came from.
Mine are developing that same metallic sheen in front of the dorsal too. Aren't they just the most gorgeous fish you have ever seen.
You must be thrilled with them.Thirty-five years keeping and breeding discus, and I'm still learning :P

This is what I mean about the dark patch behind the eye. Photos of tank bred altums don't show that patch.

Exotic Finds is one of the few successful importers of the altum angel
from Colombia and Venezuela and the occasional true altum from Brazil.

Merrilyn, I totally adored these beauties the 1st time I saw them at a lfs, and was wraped when Rav got them in.
I noticed what you mention in the tank bred altums photo, but in the video I did notice that there were some with the patch. The most dominant one that I have clearly show this dark marking a lot more than the others. Do you have any more photos of the other tank bred altums?
I still do have all 5, I wish there was some way to add more to my colony!

Hi all,
I noticed on mine that the dark patch comes and goes, it is noticeable most of the time but will almost vanish at times. It seems to be the faintest when they are sleeping and most prominent when they're sparing.
Cheers,
Russel

Is this only a rare occurence in atlums? Because I've read that female Silver Angelfish have the markings behind the eye which mine does.
Luke.
