Mark at Discus Origins or John at Freshwater Tropical Fish. They may not have any right now though.
Does anyone know of a reputable source for true Altums, Pterophyllum altum?
Ive had difficulty finding them.
Any suggestions?

I emailed John at Freshwater Tropical Fish, haven't heard back yet. The other is not one I have heard of , however, thank you!--- ill email that one as well.
Marks awesome and will get back to you asap. Great customer service. I'm always poking at his lists and asking and he never misses a beat.
He has a list with pictures posted 10/3/17 in the Sponsor section. He is a great guy to work with and has nice fish. I have purchased Discus, Plecos and Corys from him! All very nice!
Best time to order altum angels is late August/early September. Those fish are freshly caught from low water periods. The ones later in the season were caught at the same time and held in distribution. You get much better survival and growth with earlier orders. Same with tetras.

At my age, everything is irritating.
If your interested in tank raised, ANGELFISH USA has some right now.
First I will give you the two sponsors, Mark and John , as others has mention although Gabriel Posada from Jack Wattley also carry them adults at this time.
Breeding , interest and goals Wilds Heckels and Cuipeuas and a few Domestics pairs with occasional fry as well as Angels fancy Plecos , corys and shrimps.
I may end up having to go tank raised, which will be fine. The only thing is that I only buy from vendors who do FED-Ex overnight by 10:30 am. Angelfish USA ships UPS. I have found, the hard way, that UPS is not the way to go with sensitive fish.
Careful with Angelfish USA. Try and get pictures of the fish in their current condition. I read on their website that they had big losses due to hurricane Irma and moved their facility. Most likely the fish that survived are the fish being sold now. If they are unwilling to show you the current condition of the fish I would take a pass. Be sure to check the date-time stamp of the picture.

Yeah, I saw that, thank you. Unfortunately, It is pick up only in Florida--- I'm in California.
Really hard finding them. Ive contacted all of the above suggestions and none have got back to me. I guess I will need to think of something else instead.
