I started a new thread for you, tannc...
Yes, would anyone know? What about the price of the fish and their size?
Oh, and anyone heard of tank bred altums yet?

I'm crypt collecting... Starting cheap, now have Cryptocoryne beckettii, C.beckettii var petchii, C.crispatula var.balansae, C.griffithii(Melted! ), C.nurii, C.parva, C.pygmaea(Melted! ), C.tonkinensis(Melted! ), C.walkeri, C.wendtii 'Brown', C.wendtii 'Green', C.wendtii 'Green Gecko', C.wendtii 'Tropica' and Cryptocoryne x willisii
Oh, juggling is hard work, man!...
The LFS at my place informed me that they might be brining in altums and did bring them in once but the problem is that the folks around my neighborhood do question the price and according the owner, those who do buy them, end up not being able to care for them.
She said that each Altum would roughly cost $15-25 (probably the diameter of 5-6 cm only) larger ones are more expensive. There's also a X altum + scalare that's about $10 per piece, looks weird if you ask me... half altum/half normal angelfish.
visit my photo albums @ flickr!
That would be Bedok?
Anyway, always afraid that I will mistake young normal colouration scalare as young altums... Then will really be cursing and swearing... Else, $15-25 seems a very good buy... Hmm... *suspect* *suspect*... haha...

I was at C328 just now but didn't see any of the so called localy bred altum. Maybe you can place an order with her. Besides these Altums I would recommend the newly introduced Brazilian Altum (don't know the real name though) I was introduced by Ms Karin some time back. They look quite nice.Originally Posted by Justikanz

Check the striping on young fish for altums. They're seasonal and I believe that that around the corner (July or so IIRC).

Wow...12 dollars an altum?
At my lfs, here in Australia
They sell peruvian altums for $160 each for about 15 cm angels
There is a such thing called the PERUVIAN ANGELFISH. Sorry guys typed the name wrong, (not peruvian altum)
I think the peruvian angelfish has the head tip and tall body shape of an altum but the scales/colouration of a scalare angelfish.
I also read somewhere that the peruvian angelfish was found in the same waters that scalares live. Altums do not live in this area. I also read the peruvian angelfish is a mix of wild altums and scalares.
