Pat
Are they true wild from Brazil or were they bred from wild parents here in the states? Also, where are you located? We are going to be on Anna Marie Island the last 2 weeks in Jan. and I'm wondering if a trip to your place is reasonable or if you even allow visitors?

Hi Jay, they are WC according to John (snookn21) and yes, a visit is reasonable. You will be about two hours away so not too bad. I am in Orlando. Let me know when you are in the area and we will set something up.

Hi Pat,
Just wanted to say 'stunning'. The setup looks fabulous and so do the occupants!
Can I admit to being a little jealous?
Great job.
Cheers

Thanks James, I put a bit of planning and research into this tank and layout and I am very pleased with the result.

So the altums are owning the tank now. I am seeing an interesting development. At the beginning of the video one of the altums is sporting a black spot behind the eye. I understand a altum showing this dark area is a showing a dominant "mindstate". You can see this fish just to the left of the FDBW cube at the start of the video.

Your photography was good before Pat, but I think it's improving. Is it your practice ?
Last pic of your Altum shows fabulous color.

She's a marvel with wilds of any kind.
