Are these true Altum?

[Eric A]

Hello.

Thinking of buying this pair of altum angelfish. The seller claims they are true altums, but the fins are throwing me off. Is he just trying to pass off some long fin scalares?

Thanks, Eric.

The body shape and barring do indicate true altums to me.

looks good!

Cool. The person only has one now, should I get it? I have started looking for more though, because i've heard they do better in groups. I am aiming for a total of 6 altums to replace the 8 angels I have in my 190gal ATM.

If you can afford, go for it.

Mate, in Australia, this is as cheap as yo can get them

I wouldn't know the OZ dollar value better than you do.

 

[Eric A]

About 84 US cents, and about 48 UK pence.

Anyway, these are very cheap altums, which also raised questions about how legit they are.

Really? The head shape and barring were reason enough for me to see them as true altums.

I'll get it anyway, since it isn't too much of a hit to the wallet if it ain't an altum.
