    I'm trying to give my Altums a hint. I put in a proven breeding pair of an old Albino male and a pearscale marble platinum female angelfish and they laid eggs.

    Hi Rick,

    Nice There is a dedicated forum on wild angelfish with a special interest in wild altums you might consider joining. There is a member who is breeding wild altums. Might be worth checking out http://www.finarama.com/forum/index.php.

    Your discus are talking to you....are you listening

    Pretty sweet. I noticed one of the them had a very spikey spinous dorsal fin, have you noticed this on any others before?
