Altums in Planted

[cbong]

Thinking of getting 4 altums for my 2 x 2 feet planted tank. Dilipis, hairgrass, glosso and java fern. With about 100 green tetra. Are the altums suitable with these plants & fishes??? Any experience?

I feel that your biolaod is too high.

In addition, i heard that altum angel is quite agressive so it is not recommend to mix with other small fish unless your tank is big and have a lot of hiding place.

yes, I agree with Chua on the bioload. Altums are predators, esp with tetras around. What I notice about altums and other community fishes in the same tank, those altums I had didn't prey on existing tetras but new ones I added. But they are predators after all. There is a Altum saying "Anything that can fit into it's mouth, probably will"
