Dixon1990 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 How are they stunted? They look in alright shape to me.. And to my understanding there is no pure altum in NZ is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 those are peruvian altums. and wow.. they are beautiful.. you gotta wait for them to grow up all the way though. they are awesome! love the albinos too! really majestic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Ahhh peruvian=scalare then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diver21 Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Well the eye looks too big for them compared to the albinos and the altiums are about another year older. These are from phil collins and he said that theyre from wild perents... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 yep i got 2 from someone who got 6 or more from him. 1 turned out to have a bent back. pretty but deformed. the other was like yours. they tend to skinnier but grow out fine.

Anvil3000 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 These are from phil collins and he said that theyre from wild perents...

phoenix44 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 I thought I was reading that wrong too. He makes it sound like the parents are both peruvians! - bred from wild parents. that actually makes me angry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Yeah, he probabaly didnt wan that posted here..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anvil3000 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Yeah, he probabaly didnt wan that posted here..lol lol opps well just about any one can go there to buy fish & view if you no the way around "that site" anyway so it cant be a secret 8) & its still a wild one just looked on t/m it just says wild parents not silver altum wild parents So they arnt? but nearly all the the young are silver's anyway?. A Q Do fish have the odd black one just like they have the odd albino even if the parents are the for example two normal silver altums & if you then breed the black or albino with a normal one is that cross breding or hurting the strain???. The angels are probably the uncoolest fish he has anyway:o 8) (sorry to the angel lovers ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 So they arent pure fish Bugger :-? Anvil3000, are you sure one was black? I asked about the type of parents and this is how it went. Q Are both the parents 'wild'? Cheers A Yes..I only breed wild angels...Phill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diver21 Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 i got mine quite a while ago, about 2 years and i didnt see the parents as i picked them up quite late after dark and his tanks work on sunlight. so im hopeing that the parents where the same. but i did get to visit him again and have a good look at his fish and setup and was quite impressed. good guy when i met him.

Cheers A Yes..I only breed wild angels...Phill When my partner & i went there in one of the first tanks we looked at i said wow whats that black one he said thats the wild parents of these (shows us tanks with young silver altums) Then i said do you have black ones id rather have them He said no he keeping them i select the best when young for future breeding. Sorry dixon alls i know is our five angels (which you can see all of in our members tanks post) came from them a black & a silver angel pair. Maybe he got it mixed up & told us wrong but thats what he said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
