    Default Wild altum tank...not mine :(

    I was scanning YouTube at work tonight and came across this wild altum angel tank...I'm not a huge angel fan but this tank pretty stunning!

    Wow, Danny. What a perfect tank! I'm glad it belongs to somebody else, though. I'd have to invest in scuba gear to clean it.

    Haha that's for sure Liz, it's so tall/deep. With the money spent on the installation they prob have some fancy gadgetry to keep it spick n span!

    You could make a comment on youtube and ask?? The tank is in a home in Texas so the background is prob from the US...

    Those are very nice Willie. If you want to get rid of some, just let me know. Thanks.

    Willie was one of the ones that can direct your buying options...I could be wrong but I recall the ones he has are some of the very few tank raised juveniles available.

    These were tank spawned in June by Thomas in Seattle. I've got ~15 of them in a 75 gal tank. With daily water changes, they're all 5"+ at this point. The best ones are destined for a 110. But if they get to 10"+, that tank will only fit 5 - 7 (likely only 5 if I want them to get to 12"+). I'll have to make some decisions when this group reaches 7", sometime in April - May.

    Since this is the pictures and video section, check out his videos of altums spawning, eggs hatching, wrigglers, free swimming... at www.shoreline-aquatics.com.

    Thanks Danotaylor...

    And

    Thanks Willie. I currently have a few wild caught that I got from Wattley Discus and a few F2’s at 2-3” body size (some a little bigger). I’ve got 14 total right now.

    I would like to get some that are bigger. Would like to try to breed them (“try”is the keyword here). If you decide to sell some of yours, Let me know. I can always drive to you if you can’t ship...Thanks
