Looking for any and all info. Are they hardier than their wild counterparts? Where can I find them?



Going to put them in a 220 gallon with rock and driftwood.
Thanks!

try google -.- reasearch before you buy....

Asking a question here about the hardiness of a fish as well as asking google and YouTube and breeders themselves is part of the thorough research I do. I would love an answer from experienced keepers. That is what makes this forum so great. So spare me,,,
 
Looking for any and all info on a single thread is such extensive researching......
 
Are you asking where to look for the information regards to F1 Altum or where to buy them?

Information about Altum care are plentiful on the net.

Where to buy the F1 Altum is another story.

They are pretty hard to breed in captivity. You don't see them advertise anywhere. So if you stumble on one, you need to be careful to know about their source before plunge down your money.
 
Thanks. My question is how hardy are true F1 Altums. The Peruvian altums are not real altums and seem to be hardier. They look different and are a hell of a lot cheaper. The majesty of the altum may be worth the search.
 
a general rule is that and f1+ will be hardier than f0. to what extent all depends.
 
He is actually asking for help not criticism.

Wish I could help you

if he was asking for help i dont mind as thats what the forum is for. what he asked for is all the infomation we can give him. he can get all that info through research. he want help he needs to be specific. i dont know about you but i dont plan on writing a whole essay for someone who wont read the material themself
 
F1s tend to be more tolerant of aquarium water conditions than their wild counterparts. I do know Tony Tan breeds them but I do not know of anyone else although I am sure there are others. You can try angelfishusa.com I know they are bringing in some of Tony's angels.They may be able to get some altums in a future order.
