I want you guys to know that I got one juvinile altum!!!! And I now work at a fish store!!!! It is so awsome!

claire

how do the altums work??? Ive heard about them, but dont know much about them

they are the largest speices of angelfish... they get to be a foot tall... And are very pretty not to mention rare....

claire

oh I thought you were talking about one of those little habitat deals where you raise those triops and stuff. but sweet, where can I find some pics and stuff of those angels, thanks

I don't have any pictures of my altum yet but you could go to google images and get a good idea of what they look like. I hear that they are as hard to take care of as discus but I don't know if it is true...

claire

My altum was under attack from tadpols! He is the only one left! All the others died......

claire

I have my altum tank now! it is a 44 gallon! A fluval 304 is the only filter in it but it should be fine. I have a betta cycleing it right now.... Only a few more days to go and I will have my altum!

claire

Congratulations, Claire! Those big Angels are great!

I am planning on getting my altum a.k.a Aegean on Wedsday. ooo so excited!

claire

I have my little Aegean and he is doing great! I don't see what all the fuss is about them being so hard to care for he is easy!

claire

HE IS NOT A ALTUM!!! I was informed today that my altum is actually a X peruvian altum.... Man I hope the other altums I special ordered are the real deal.

so sad, claire

If you order a baby and it's not clearly marked as wild and somewhat pricey. Don't expect a pure real Altum

It is a wild angelfish just not a altum......

claire

I have some cory cats in with the Peruvian altum.... Also I still need to put that betta somewhere.......
