what is a peruvian angel ?
is it a Pterophyllum scalare caught in the amazon river basin in peru?
or is that a name put on a colour or pattern variety?
sorry wrong side, that was the side knot was on
put paua eye in the other side
wanted a keepsake of it but didn't want to keep it in the tank any longer
i did an exact size carving of it when it was in the tank, made out of an old fence post
DOC guy estimated it around 40 yrs old
it loved maggots and any insect i could throw in there
i hope he wasn't in its hole either
there are some other giants here but none i have seen near the size of this one
giants are slow growers, get to arond 150mm then take ages to put on much size
have a 43cm specimen in our system, haven't seen it since the recent landslip in the fernery destroyed its favourite hole
had it in a tank for 2 years
