The jury is still out on CB Altums. They are much more forgiving about water conditions, specifically in regards to pH & TDS, but still more touchy than your average fish. Alot of info I have seen on them says that they don't look as nice as wild caughts - something in the wild that we just haven't been able to replicate in the home aquarium. Having said that, I have seen some pics of CB Altums that look fantastic, so maybe we're getting the hang of them as breeders/hobbyists.
A couple hurdles with CB fish though is that they are very scarce - the only breeder I know of offering them with any regularity is Tony Tan through AngelfishUSA. & they are VERY expensive when available - $100 for quarter size fish. I can get 10 quarter size WC fish for $150.
Sheesh, that's sad that the wilds are so much cheaper than CB. I guess give it another few years.
It will be expensive food if you get a royal panaque! Looks very nice.

Wow...looks great already. Do you all ever worry about the humidity causing issues in the home?...like potentially causing mold growth due to high humidity? I recently had a pipe burst and it caused a lot of issues so im a bit wary but would like to get some big tanks in the future.

I plan on placing two vents above the tank and using a louvered door to the new fish room to allow for air movement to hopefully help with those issues.
