Maintain these water conditions for optimal health and vibrant colors
Peruvian Altum Angelfish (Pterophyllum cf. scalare) is a Peruvian angelfish trade form often sold as Peruvian Altum. Because that name is not the same as verified true Pterophyllum altum, this listing uses a conservative Pterophyllum cf. scalare care anchor.
Use a tall mature aquarium with vertical wood or plants, gentle flow, open turning space and stable warm water. Avoid sudden changes while settling this trade form.
Feed quality cichlid foods with frozen bloodworm, brine shrimp, daphnia and occasional live foods. Keep portions moderate to protect water quality.
Keep with calm medium-sized community fish. Avoid fin nippers, tiny fish and aggressive cichlids that will stress long-finned angelfish.
