    My new f1 Altums!

    Wow so it's been a while since I've Kept anything exciting.

    So imagine my excitement/doubt when the owner of an aquarium sees me checking out some discus and angels and asks "you like Altums?"

    Tell me more...... Well a deposit and a few days later

    Extremely stable and good size.... Not as hard as I imagined, so far

    Very excited to see how they turn out!

    Hi,

    How have gone with feeding the discus and angels. I tried it once and well my discus could never get to feed properly.
    Beautiful angels, will you breed?

    Cheers.
    yesterday was the past, tomorrow is the future and today is a gift - that's why they call it the present.

    might just be the photos but the fin and body shape looks little off, are you sure they are P.Altum?

    the fish on the right is p.Altum the angel on the left is a varient of P.Sclare notice the diffrence in heat and body shape?




    again the 2 fish in middle right are
    P.altum the fish on the left and far right with its back to camera are not

    They are in quarantine tank ATM, they're feeding fine together, I just slowly feed everything until everyone gets a feed, I just make sure I keep the water clean....
