Altum Angelfish

problem, the Altum angel, when available, can serve as an alternative to the common angel. There is a need for commercial breeders and hobbyists to work toward successfully spawning P. Altum, for two reasons. First, the demand for Altums is increasing. Second, collecting wild specimens to meet this increased demand will jeopardize the very existence of Altums in their natural habitat.

Should you happen to come across these beautiful, delicate and intelligent cichlids on your next visit to your favorite aquarium store, consider setting up a large tank for them. I am sure you will find, as I have, that the Altum angel is one of the most challenging and rewarding fish you will ever have the privilege of keeping.
