Thanks are the missing bars related to age?

Bump in the nose. I hope the stripe thing is a matter of age. I have a couple that are about a year old and the stripes are very pronounced. Especially when pissed.

These don’t look like true P. Altum to me. All the P. Altum I have seen have had the full baring even when young. Another defining feature of P. Altum is that they have faint bars between the prominent 3 and the space between the bars (the silver part of that makes sense) will not be thicker then the bars themselves.

As has been said, yes they posses the Altum shape but don’t look like pure P. Altum

those are captive bred altums. U can tell by their stripes. Thats just how captive bred altums are. They just don't have the complete bars as wild ones.

The easiest way you can tell if they are altums or not is the amount of stripes in their tails and fins. Altums will always have between 2-3 bands


Judging from your first photo, I’d say that they are altum
