I have not had the best of luck with altums... I have tried wilds a couple times with minimal positive results... I have looked into F1 and there insane prices... and recently I have been looking for long term captives and again the prices have been sky high.... then the other night i noticed a post on my local fish clubs web site... 4 adult long term captives... and it was someone I knew...

2 days later... viola! 4 new guys to add to my loan guy.

They are a little roughed up from the trip but are settling in nicely... Next up an upgrade for them....

Sweet score!
 
Nice group! your lonely guy will be much happier! Are they in tap or RO mix?

Yea- I had a couple Dumerils angels in there with him but he got right into the mix with the new guys... Straight tap and the new ones were tap also- my water is fairly soft to begin with but may mess with r/0 mix at some point later

That is a sick collection!

Thanks Man- I am on the hunt for a big tank for them now...

looks like they adapted just fine! If there acclimated and happy in tap and you have soft water... your good!
 
Lol Altums and Ferns it's the SA holy grail! Throw in some Heckle and you scored a Hat trick!!Of Course now comes the hard part..............keeping them alive.
