    I found wild caught Altum Angels at a tropical fish store that always has great quality.

    Here they are in my tank.

    shot with Pentax 645z with 55mm lens (medium format)

    These are Atabapo Altums as they display more reds than blues. The Orinoco Altums display more blues in their coloring.

    I picked up the medium format body and lens for 3500.00 (a steal as buying new would be almost 10,000.00), and shortly after I picked up the Sigma 500mm 1:5.6 in a Pentax mount for 2800.00..... I love KEH.com for buying used gear.

    I am learning the 645z by only having one lens, and I love this for many genres of photography, and especially portraits.

    I still have my APS-C bodies and my K-1 (which gets plenty of use).

    Hope you are doing well my friend.
