These are my favorite angelfish of all time. The wild angels are some much better looking than the tank raised crap.
Wild Peru ''Altum'' scarlet. I have 2 now, but getting another 2 tommrow. Peru Altums are better than True altums.

Hey justbwondering where you got them? Im actually looking for them too but how is their sensitivity compared to domestic angels and/or altums?

That agression just sounds like pecking order stuff to me. I have a group of 5 wild caught Peruvians and I have found them more territorial than domestic angels. Of my 5 fish, only 2 of them have red eyes. I got them all from the same reputable importer, so I'm confident they are legit.

Where did you get them if i may ask?

I got my wilds from Jeff Rapps @ Tangled Up in Cichlids. You can also try John @ Freshwater Tropical Fish Online or Discus Origins. All reputable

Hey i checked the tangled up in ichlids but they dont seem to have the rio nanay. In the website does it go under a different name like scalare suriname or the other one called leticia?

No he always lists his collection points. Availability from collection points fluctuates from season to season, year to year

Where did you get them? Beem wanting some for a while now.

I am very happy that I got Wild Peruvian Scalare. First time owning wild angelfish and I think they are better than tank raised. Eating alot of flakes, pellets, and bloodworms. More color than tank raised. But I do have one question, they seem to have more aggression than tank raised in my experience. Theres the biggest one bitting and nipping at the 3 smaller ones, is this normal? What can I do to solve this?
