    Hi guys
    just a small thread on my babies
    With a huge effort and help from great friends I recieved my most wanted fish in October
    15 small 7week old altums arrived in PE as I was one of the lucky people who recieved some as the other 20 that was imported all went to Prof Dirk.
    my 1.5 x 0.7 x 0.7 tank with a 4ft sump had been up and running for 8 months befor arrival wainting for these
    very delicate and sensitive but majestic fish.
    will post some pics soon!

    Stunning fish Charles. What kind of extra care do they require and what do they eat?

    Sjoe - those are spectacular - have too rush to the LFS and get me some of those R25 babies they are advertising as altums ....

    Oh wait - not really altums that the LFS's have aaahhhh

    MAN your stock is awsome - yes please keep them pics coming, it is the closest I will get to having angles.

    Later Ferdie

    PS

    SM- If you look fast all fish look like majestic guppies ;-)

    Saw Prof Dirk's altums over the weekend in real life if I can call it that.. They are really spectacular fish! Can't wait to see them at adult size!

    Goodluck with yours @jabula 7749, keep the pics coming..
