altum is also a type of angel fish, but they are mainly wild caught, as not many can breed them because of their specific requirements.

also their features are definite, like the notch on their nasal aread and the dark spot on the side of the forehead and their antenna like dorsals.
also altums grow to a large size, think their top to bottom fins can span throught 18 inches.

altums are also very difficult to keep alive, not to mention even go to breeding them.
And of course, their cost is very expensive compared to the normal domestic bred angels.
hope this helps.
