Rio Negro San Felipe Altum Angelfish F1 Medium

CARE:  Tank bred Altum angelfishes are capable of reaching maturity in 1.5 years. After 2 years can grow to 12 inches tall with some fish eventually attaining 17 inches tall fins stretched.  A large tank is needed to accomodate their fast growth with height being an important factor. Altum angelfishes like to be kept in groups of 5 or more.  Tank bred Altum angelfishes produced here, unlike wild collected fish, are exceptionaly hardy.  Along with appropriate space, clean foods and large weekly water changes are all that is required for success. Shoreline Aquatics Altum angelfishes have been well cared for and raised in lots of space to insure proper growth.   Fish are adapted to our local water source ph 7.2.  But, they can adjust to all water conditions.  Healthy Altums have the personalities of begging dogs.  They are able to consume a large amount of food several times a day and therefore need consistent water changing regime.  These fish here are being raised in 82f. Maintaining them long term in warmer water with discus works well. 

All Altum Angelfishes being sold at Shoreline Aquatics are eating Vitacomplete Fish Food and with incredible results.   Vita Complete is enriched with fish oil, vitamins, minerals and amino acids to promote a strong immune system and good growth.  CHECK OUT THE VIDEO LINK  SAN FELIPE F1 ALTUM EATING VITACOMPLETE FISH FOOD

WHY PURCHASE FISH HERE: The Altum Angelfish we sell are all pure genetically, strong, healthy, tank ready fish, that come free of parasites and harmful pathogens.  It is my belief that keeping the fish to past 3 months of age will ultimately show us if any of the animals are not growing properly.  Only the best animals that have potential for growth into big fish are ever sold. You can expect these fish to all have long fins and good striping. Every Pterophyllum Altum pair that I am working here now here is wild caught, therfore, F1 fish offered here have solid genetics. They will be fully videos documented pre and post spawning for each successfully spawned pair. Every group of F1 Juveniles sold here will have a spawn date.  Quality and Transparency.  This is what I believe separates Shoreline Aquatics tank bred Altum Angelfish from fish you can source elsewhere.
