About the False Altum Angelfish

Name: False Altum Angelfish

Max Size: False Altum Angelfish can grow up to approximately 6 inches (15 cm) in length, making them a relatively large freshwater aquarium fish.

Recommend pH: False Altum Angelfish thrive in slightly acidic to neutral water conditions. It is recommended to maintain a pH level between 6.5 and 7.5 for optimal health.

Recommended Temperature (Β°F): False Altum Angelfish prefer tropical temperatures ranging from 75 to 82Β°F (24 to 28Β°C).

Diet: False Altum Angelfish are omnivorous and will accept a varied diet. They can be fed high-quality flakes or pellets designed for omnivorous fish. Additionally, supplementing their diet with live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia can help provide essential nutrients and promote vibrant coloration.

Temperament: False Altum Angelfish are generally peaceful, but they can exhibit territorial behavior, especially during breeding or when establishing dominance within a group. Care should be taken when selecting tank mates to ensure compatibility and minimize aggression.

Schooling or Non-Schooling Fish: False Altum Angelfish are non-schooling fish. They are typically found in pairs or small groups in the wild. In an aquarium setting, they can be kept individually or in small groups, depending on the tank size and compatibility with other fish.

Possible types of tank mates: False Altum Angelfish can coexist with other peaceful community fish that are similar in size and temperament. Good tank mates include tetras, rasboras, peaceful cichlids, gouramis, and other similarly sized and non-aggressive species. Avoid keeping them with fin-nipping or overly aggressive fish that may stress or harm them.

Behavior: False Altum Angelfish have a graceful and elegant swimming style. They are known for their elongated fins and majestic appearance. In the aquarium, they may establish territories and engage in courtship displays. Males may chase females and display vibrant colors to attract their attention. False Altum Angelfish are generally calm and slow-moving but can become more active during feeding time or when exploring their surroundings.

Fun Fact: The False Altum Angelfish, also known as the "Peruvian Altum," resembles the Altum Angelfish (Pterophyllum altum) but is a separate species. They are highly sought after by aquarium hobbyists due to their striking beauty and resemblance to the more challenging-to-keep Altum Angelfish. The False Altum Angelfish displays a similar body shape and finnage but is generally more adaptable to aquarium conditions, making them a popular choice for aquarists seeking a captivating centerpiece fish.

Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) I’ve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

Wonderful shop with lots of variety. Has the most unique selection of fish on the island, and at a reasonable price! Staff is friendly and very helpful when we have questions or concerns. Love coming here and seeing the jokes around the store. Also, Vinnie!

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
