Coloration for Altum Angels

[vinccc2003]

Hi,
Anyone bought any altum form c328 and polyart?
I personally bought from both of them.
Prices are the same, but sizes are different.
After a week, the ones in c328 still don't have the reddish fin. Whereas, the ones in polyart already showing.
Will there be fake ones?

Why not take a picture of the both and post it here?

Your altums got red eyes?

[vinccc2003]

some have and some don't have...

I have an altum, survive from last year batch, the black strips are quite thick and there's are golden strips beside the black...

But this year batch don't have that coloration.

I will try to take a photo for all of you to compare.
Thanks.

it takes time for them to settle down, like humans, each individual is different. Environment also play an important part, so does hierachy within the community of angels. Perhaps the one from c328 is the weakest? getting bullied by the rest

Some one told me true altums do not have red eyes. I did comparison on the pictures of scalares and altums. Seems like its true. And so far, the altums i have seen at some lfs do not have the red eyes.
