Im new to raising Altums. I have a group of F1 Pterophyllum Scalare sp Rio Manacapuru and a small group of the F1 oronicos and are all medium to large size angels. Im currently raising them in a 220 gallon tank with some juvie geophagus sveni and Guianacara in soft water and a pH of 6.5. They seem to be thriving and eating like pigs and always looking for more food. I used to raise discus in Barebottom tanks as juvies until they reached adult size so was wondering if that is the same way you should raise these Altums. I do a 30 percent water changeevery other day. Will they grow out well in a tank that's not Barebottom? Here's a few shots of the tank. My tanks perameters are exactly what you woulld want for these fish too. There's also never a mess left behind with the geophagus sveni, guinacara and Corydoras constantly eating anything left over. Tank is being ran with 2 Fluval fx6 filters.
Here's some pics of my setup. Thanks for looking and thanks ahead for any advice for these amazing fish.
I'll be posting a video soon with some better close up shots as well
