[@wyliecoyote1696]

Rio Nanay and Rio Manacapuru scalare can be equally beautiful for those who do not have the tank space; but still want wild-angelfish.

[@Orchidfortress]

Wow 🎉🎉🎉 Altums!!! Here I am getting my hands on them this weekend 😇 so excited ❤

[@johnbrand1893]

I read it’s a lot easier keeping tank raised F1 Altums than wild, so that’s a big plus in attempting to keep them healthy for sure. 👍

[@tomahawk1556]

Yes , Altum Angel can eat Neon Tetra size fish! Thank You So Much for the useful tutorial! 🌷🌿🌍

[@michaellou7101]

I love that discus pushing the altum away from the food soo it can get some.....such brave discus!

[@MakoyUnggoy]

Wild caught Altums are not too bad as long as you don't buy them really small, I kept them in normal dechlorinated tap water with a ph of 7.0 from day 1 of getting them and kept them for many years without any problems

[@bitchbitten]

Really? Any more tips?

[@MakoyUnggoy]

@@bitchbitten if you get a group then it will be easier to get them to feed on any new food you have that they aren't used to, but that goes pretty much with any wild fish like this or discus I would say

[@rexel666]

The most beautiful fish.

[@A.Y.11]

Your Altum's are absolutely beautiful! You clearly take great care of them! It does seem like the tank is a little small though for that many.. do they ever get aggressive? It seems like there isn't enough width for them to swim.

[@PurelyAquatic]

Its a 54 gallon, the plants are taking up most of the back tank. But there's a lot of space for the Atlums.

[@Bigpoecilia]

I have never had an issue with wild caught Altums eating regular food. When they are hungry they will eat. But I guess some people have those issues. Maybe it's because I use R/O water exclusively and my fish are more comfortable. Who knows?

[@chalkynan412]

Am I seeing a UGF? This setup is great for thick soil but when it is time to remove the muck in the UGF, the entire tank fauna and flora have to be moved out

[@leonatkatk2676]

What is your aquarium temperature? Your plants grow nice as well?

[@PurelyAquatic]

84F because I have Discus in with the Altums.

[@martinbidas6588]

Shouldn't be teaching people "basics" of altum when you yourself are ignoring the basics.

[@PurelyAquatic]

Please tell me what I'm missing.

[@kokikz26]

i have 6 altums and they are now 2 yrs old, main diet is vibra bites and frozen blood worm for treats

[@qutubhashmi1656]

I just love Altum Angelfish. How to get these gorgeous fish.

[@ScubaSteve4444]

I plan on getting a monster tank and get some wilds from Gabe Posada. I hear Altums won't breed in anything lower than a 5? Is this only for wilds or these tank bred too?

[@PurelyAquatic]

Hey Steve, I'm not sure about the breeding pH for these guys. I haven't had a confirmed pair yet to say.

[@kentmccroskey8161]

Good luck with Wattley/Gabe Posada's Altums. I bought ten. One was laying on its side and died the next day. The day after they arrived they started showing signs of fin rot. Treated them daily with prescription antibiotics and did water changes daily. Lost seven. Gabe offered no compensation or solution. If you do research on Gabe, when he does ship out diseased or sick fish, his reviews are a nightmare. He could care less about customer service.

[@jeromehorn7333]

what size tank?; looks really small with the altums in it.

[@PurelyAquatic]

It's a 54 Gallon.

[@bitchbitten]

Did you add the discus alone? I'm considering trying one single discus in my angelfish tank...

[@PurelyAquatic]

It was a pair, but the male was being mean and the female needed a break. Back to your question, yes you can do a single Discus with Angels.

[@kokikz26]

Nice set up

[@dannythieu353]

Very nice Altums, What's temp water and how often you do water change? Thanks

[@PurelyAquatic]

84-86F with the Discus. But I've kept them 79-82F when they're alone.

[@GouramiNatural]

I bought wild altum sold as angels lol

[@angelfishkeeper3027]

Where?

[@dakotaharper3277]

So sold accurately? They're still angelfish

[@Rotterdam-hoogvliet]

I love the altums angel fish 💪❤🧡💛🤗🤗🤗

[@Alex_Correa]

Very nice video.

[@theone5404]

Ya know, I keep wild ones and wild discus in my hard water with a pH of 7.6. My fish thrive. However, i did buy mine from a person who preaclimates the imported fish he gets.

[@johnilen_official]

Do you know any websites where to buy these beauties? Thanks.

[@PurelyAquatic]

You can check out Jack Wattley Discus or Discus Madness, they normally carry Altums.

[@barto6248]

first rule, big tank, yours is to small for Altums . Second rule, dont put discus with them in one tank,

[@YaBeenSmoked]

'how to keep altums' Also this guy: keeps altums in 50 gallons... I doubt you have ever seen fully grown P. Altum. Your tank should have a height of atleast 60cm minimum... 70cm+ is good tho... I had 6 atabapo altums with 38-40cm heights... You should really get a new tank or atleast give your altums to someone who knows how to keep them.

[@billrough7704]

Sound advice.

[@lukelee465]

Hi any tips on treating bloating with Altum?

[@myst9072]

Hey what should be the height of a tank for Altum angelfish vs other smaller angelfish?

[@PULAG]

Can you live feed angels?

[@PurelyAquatic]

No I don't, just flakes and pellets mainly.

[@omzdubz]

I have a seapora aquarium 36 length x 18 depth x 30 height. Can you tell me how many altums i can keep in it?

[@crashoveride7218]

Always good stuff and things to keep in mind for when I finally start my own aquarium someday!

[@PurelyAquatic]

Do it Jeff!!!

[@Rotterdam-hoogvliet]

@@PurelyAquatic yes! 😃

[@lewisp9803]

Hi guys, can spare some advice? Can I just get a pair for my 3ft tank? 90cm x 45cm tank. Thanks🙏🏼 not for breeding

[@PurelyAquatic]

Yeah, this tank is 90cm x 45cm x 50cm. Just make sure its not x2 males :/

[@lewisp9803]

@@PurelyAquatic alright! thanks!

[@kamalchandar2402]

My Altums doesn’t show that black colour stripes. What should I do? They are dull in colour. Whenever they get aggressive they show colour.

[@coolwater411]

Where u brought altum angelfish at?

[@PurelyAquatic]

Its in the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXO1hoqHgcZpbskm45s

[@Aquaticangels]

So is it possible to tank breed Altums ? I wanna start breeding a good breed of angel

[@PurelyAquatic]

Yeah totally, these were F1 Altum (tank bred/raised) that I got.

[@Aquaticangels]

@@PurelyAquatic so if I got say 8 altum ordered up as juveniles. I’d have a good chance of them pairing ? I heard they don’t pair for life like most angels

[@autismradio2306]

Beautiful tank and fish where did your purchase them from.

[@PurelyAquatic]

www.angelfishusa.com/ , but they haven't had any Altum in years now.

[@autismradio2306]

@@PurelyAquatic Thanks for the information

[@dsantiago988]

Hi JY! How long does it take for altums to be full-grown, when they actually stop growing in size?

[@PurelyAquatic]

About 1.5 years or so I've noticed them maxing out in size.

[@ek9424]

instead of buying multiple altums can I get one and then 3 normal angelfish?

[@a2agata]

Спасибо!

[@exit9b150]

What about WCs? Is there anything different?

how to take care of altum angels? i havent even figured out how TO get altum angels...

Try your LFS or online stores like Discus Madness www.discusmadness.com/product/altum-angelfish-tank-raised/

[@John-cj1xd]

Me getting them at petco

[@JoeBurner1720]

@@John-cj1xd Yeah you don’t have altums

[@sams242]

hi whats a GH and KH level is it matter

[@southsidesky]

Beautiful fish and beautiful tank but there is a drawback to buying tank raised altums. And that is that they are all (most probably) brothers and sisters. With a fish as finnicky as altums, that's a concern when it comes to breeding them. If you aren't trying to do that, then it's no problem. I've had lots of times when brothers and sisters of certain species were reluctant to breed with one another.

[@philthytanks4952]

My altums were doing great until I got hit with a fungus that took out 2 before I was able to figure out how to beat it (api fungus cure did nothing, had to physically remove the fungus and heal the wounds with other meds)

[@philthytanks4952]

Also mine are wild caught so I have them in a blackwater tank with a ph around 6 ish

[@JoeBurner1720]

How many in a 6ft 125g?

[@turcueugen4682]

The aquarium is too small in volume and height

[@YaBeenSmoked]

Yea... It is WAY too small

[@PurelyAquatic]

This is a 54 gallon tank with a 20 gallon sump. 36" x 18" x 20"

[@Aquatica87Heaven]

@@PurelyAquaticfiltration is proper but you still want a 75g for that many fish so they don’t stunt.

[@brianconroy7514]

They all have notched heads

[@sirbreakemstuff]

i can only find a facebook profile for angelfishusa can you provide a link please and thank you

[@PurelyAquatic]

They changed to www.tropicalfishusa.com/ and also stop selling Altums. :(

[@StanTheObserver-lo8rx]

I have a 240g with a nice pair of Scalares. The male especially has great 4 black bar color all the time. The female is not so steady with the deep black. How do Altums get along with Scalares?... I would would worry those filaments on the fins would be nipped by the dozen or so Rainbowfish or worse the tetras like Columbian and Bleeding Hearts I have in the aquarium.

[@PurelyAquatic]

They should get along with any Angelfish species, but I have not personally kept different types with the Altums before.

[@josebravo549]

Bleeding heart tetras are good tankmates for them. I have 9 altums and 15+ bleeding heart tetras. No problem whatsover. 120gal high tank.

[@staceygianoplos6381]

Where did you purchase your Altums?

[@PurelyAquatic]

I was from www.discususa.com/, but I haven't seen David carry Altums in awhile.

Lovely video but clean the glass please.

[@bettascarlosgildemontes9980]

You can try Discus madness or Discus America. They carry Altums from time to time.

Hi, please can you show me the food ?

I use Ken's Fish flakes and Cobalt flakes as the main source of food, along with treats like dried blackworm, frozen bloodworms, mysis and raw shrimp.

[@ellanskie1386]

hi Joey, I want to keep Altums, but my tanks are only 18inches and 20inches tall. would that do for altums?

Its kind of small, but a breeding pair could work in that.
