gorgeous angels u have! i remember seeing amano's altum tank like years ago and since then ive always wanted some. beautiful fish, disgusting tank lol take care of that BGA or cyanobacteria! (hate that stuff n it stinks too)lol
they dont look like they mind a whole lot... how big is their regular home? i love the clean stripes on them and in person altum colors are amazing, id love a pair for a tank im setting up but i think 36x18x20 would be too small.
That is their regular home, but wasn't intended to be their home originally. I occasionally park other fish in there and move them out etc. It's a 40B tank, and so far it's been ok for them but now it seems like they would appreciate a bit more depth. I have a very deep layer of substrate in that tank, so it takes up around 4 inches of the depth. They could go in my 125, or some other tanks I have but haven't given much thought yet. They seem to love the tank despite the cyano, roam around in there alot, they eat well, great personality etc. And I agree, I think altums are nice, they are my fav angel fish.
Here's an older pic of them.
