    I saw them once as they were a special import at loolilocks
    Will come with a price tag, just for 4 fish is R2400 they were like 6-8cm size
    I am not sure if anyone will be willing to help you out as they dont ship well.
    but then again, the 4 I saw at the shop survived, so i guess there are guys
    that are able to get these

    I'm breeding Peruvians which are similar looking to the Altums, but my babies are only about a week old...

    I think it will have to only be in a couple of months time, that they should be big enough to sell on without the risk of them dying. Will that be ok with you?

    @JRH, I look forward to being able to sell you a decent sized, healthy baby Peruvian Angel in the next few months. :bigsmile: I will keep you in the loop as to their progress.

    @DewaldC

    I hope you are refering to the angles that im talking about...
    The ones that was kept at the back office, actully in "Bruces" office which is locked at all times
    Getting pass there will have to pass Denis office.
    And no it was not for public sale so it was not in display nor was discussed to the public as they were special orders

    You are most likely refering to the Dantum angels and I can Assure you that they never at one stage said it was angles.
    They will never do that anyawy - Also They sold the Dantums for R90-R100 so compared to the Altums...
    The batch that Dirk is refering is most likely the first batch which they should of resolved it.
    No Dantum angles will sell for R2400..

    @DewaldC, you are correct, they were Peruvian Angels and not the Altum Angels. And this is the same batch that mine came from, via @gdt78. I know that he paid quite a steep price for them...
