Still Have Some Fish

[Second Hand Pat]

Hi guys, while I have gotten out of discus for a while I still have these guys. F1 Altum angelfish at 9 months of age.

Thanks Matt, they seem to color up faster then wild altums and they are not as aggressive with each other. :)

Beautiful Pat. Thanks for sharing, and l'm glad to hear that you still have some fish to care for. If for whatever reason l could not keep discus, this would be my next choice

Those look really nice Pat and as always, great picture!!

May I ask why the decision to keep these as opposed to a tank of discus? I have never kept angels so I do not know what they reauire although I've heard they are very hardy? I'm going to guess that they require less maintence and can go longer alone if need be incase you are pulled to the parents for any particular reason ?

Thanks Phil, I find these guys to be a little more forgiving then discus and the I can get away with a little less maintenance. I am planning on moving them to the 230 where they can get nice and big. They can get the size of discus.

Those look really nice. I'm thinking about going in that direction. Is a 75, 18" high big enough for 6?
Also, where could I get them?
Thank you

Thanks Jay, You can start them out in a 75 but as they grow it is considered that a taller tank suits them better. John (snookn21) should have the them now in smaller sizes. His email is in his sponsor section.
