Is that bag I see in the tank on the right holding the tea?
Yup Kirby, a little media bag. I place it over the bubbles to help disperse the tea. Here's a really crappy video showing them exploring the tank.

My daughter has been gone a while Ricardo and yes I do. They are cute little buggers. The first video was not great. This one is a little better.

Re: Pat's Altums - Take 2
A friend of mine was out at the house last Friday picking up a tank and told me he had gotten some of them from John. He was very impressed with the ones he received. Maybe one of these days I will give them a try.

These are very nice Larry and shipped very well. They are settling nicely too. I think you would really enjoy them Larry. :)

Re: Pat's Altums - Take 2
Interesting little guys... Thanks for the videos Pat.
Maybe next year... I do like the height very much.
Cheers,
Fred
Re: Pat's Altums - Take 2
They are cute buggers Pat and like Larry...will give it another go sometime.
I thought mine were small when I got a group 6 years back from Oliver at Below-water...these guys are tiny. I'm sure you will do wonders with them Pat as you did with the others.

I know Pat, I didn't literally mean your kids. I meant, you no longer have very small discus/angles in the house to have to worry so much about, and then you go and get some tiny little buggers, lol. I know they are going to be great in your hands!

Trick is preserving the fin extensions Fred then they can get really tall.

Re: Pat's Altums - Take 2
i want to get altums every year! i already have some 2 year old ones from john 2 years ago. really itching to get some this year. cant get enough of them. wish i had a 500 gallon fill with altums. but no room for more at the moment. but so damn tempting to get some just cuz i love altums so much.
Re: Pat's Altums - Take 2
Pat
If you don't mind me asking, How many did you get and how much per fish are they?Really would like to try them providing I could afford them.
Thanks.
Jay
Re: Pat's Altums - Take 2
Hi Jay, the Altums are $15 a piece plus shipping. I ordered 14 and received 16 as John adds a couple to offset any shipping losses.
