peruvian angelfish

[halconGT]

Although angelfish is not my favourite, I'm very happy with this pair...

do you believe they really are peruvian?

I think they likely are. They look similar to Altums in some respects. They used to be sold as Peruvian Altums, which they are not. There is no such fish. However, they are still a very nice looking angel and you should be happy with them.

Beautiful angels!

thanks for your comment. Certainly I've found them as peruvian altums too

Beautiful scalare!

Those are most likely Rio nanay angels. Peruvians don't have dots from what I know. They look nice, they get nicer as they get older

The Nanay River is fully within Peru (northern)....

Look similar to the wild Rio Nanay Peru scalare I've gotten from TUIC on two occasions some years apart. They can vary individually a bit in color and spots. I've had individuals get a reflective, coppery electric sheen on their sides that's quite nice. I've had them to a good size.

I don't get angelfish very often and it's been a long, long time since I've had any domestic strain angels.

thanks for your reply, I think both names refer to same fish, although there are another species of Pterophyllum in Peru

Yes, I agree with you
