Thank you!
Yes probably de CRs will be eaten when the altums grow. But they have a lot place to hide... i don't no...
Verminator: this anubias nana is from my old planted tank, they grow in 4 years in these tank, but they are growing very well in this new tank too.
You can check my old aquascaping here:

Ilumnae: How long do you have your altuns? What size they have?
I would to like to buy another one for this tank. It's to much for 400L?
Thank you again.

Hi Andre, my altums are currently 4-4.5 inches tip to tip. they grow really fast! I have 7 currently, but they are still in my 2ft tank under quarantine. I don't think you will have a problem keeping 5 in your 400 litre tank, so go ahead and get one more
very nice tank!
I love nanas for their shade of green and their cute little leaves. Actually I also prefer to have the abundance of gravel space as the color contrasts with the green nicely. It feels so spacious, your fishes will be glad for the open space.
Wonderful tank. Looks so natural!
Cheers,

Thank you guys!
I introduced another altun last saturday without problems, they swimming in a beautiful shoal. But I can see the greenspots algae growing to much, so I intensified my water changes.
I show you new pictures soon.

André

whenever i see altums my heart aches... cos they suffered high casualty under my care last time...
nice tank you have got there....
Hi,
I made some changes in the aquascape to give more space to the Altuns.
As I thought the algae appeared and my bolbits are suffering with temperature.
I try to keep in 27C and made 2X water changes per week, I cut the Fluval exit to reduce the water oxigenation and start to put Tropica's Liquid Fertilization Plants (without NI and PO).
I entered new floating plants as Salvinia Natans and let Ceratopteris floating too and tied some microsoruns philippines on the driftwood to create some shaded areas in the future.
Definitely a low light setup with big fishes is not easy to keep.
Some pictures
General view
The new driftwood
At least the Altuns remain beautiful and healthy...
I hope I can show nice pictures soon...
PS.: The Trigonostigmas start breeding.
they are sooooo beautiful, brother!
really grew big in the matter of months!
i have 2 suggestions:
1) Add another 100pcs of espei
2) Fill in your tank with more crypts!
Hi Andre! Nice to meet you here!
Gee, I have found some Altums in my LFS, and I believe that maybe them and yours are relatives (or collected at the same time), because they have arrived here almost at same time that in your tank. Of course, they are soo beautiful that even the owner of the LFS doesn´t seems to be much interested in sell them
I really hope your CRS are not hidden inside the stomach of any Altum.
Best regards,
Lívio
The Altums looks beautiful and well done keeping it in good shape.
WiNd08: I hope my cryptos grow soon... but I have a fear to overpopulate my tank, so maybe I introduce only some corydoras shoal.
Cpark188: Tanks guy!
Hi Livio!!! It's great to see you here too!
Do you have Altuns too? Did you bought your Altuns in EcoAnimal?
Please show them for us. If you need some advices about Pterophyllum Altuns and another Angel fishes do you want to make a register on finarama.com, it's a very especialized forum. You will love this.
Hi Andre!
No, I am still not an owner, but just a "secret admirer".
These Altums I've seem are living inside an exposition tank at my local fishstore. Really beautifull!

Hi fellows,
just to sharing the Altuns grow.
really nice altums you have there, really like your tank!
after the change it syill looks as good, although I was a little mesmerised with the wood on the right in your original scape, gave it a cliff-like look.
