theyve been in my tank for almost a month. eating mysis shrimp, spirulina brine, and frozen bloodworms. they are too fast to get a good snap of. this is the best i can do...

They're majestic! How big is your tank, water temp, and what kind of filter? I can look at these angels all day long :)

glad to hear you got altums to settle in. I have never tried them due to lack of local availability and difficulty getting them to thrive.

Very Nice. I just picked up eight altums from my LFS here in Seattle over the weekend. I lost one today. I am hoping I can keep at least six alive.
