henward Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 turning my red tank to a amazon type setting. Brown water, a school of peru altum angels 3x plecos, geo phagus tt eel, clown loaches and red aro isnt from amazon but hey, its ok, the setting will be:D got my IAL for black water, tested getting some from a website overseas if it gets through ok will get a steady supply. red aro likes black water more anyhow. one corner will be branches and twigs for shelter of the angels and resembles the river bank.

henward Posted October 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 when angels are big, no problems there, just needs to wait a bit, also arowana stops to chase fish when theyar ein sheltered areas - and well fed. and mine is generally well fed lol so shouldnt be an issue. angels are quite fast too and slim so they fit into small gaps aro cant. aro get tired of chasing after a while when they realise they cant get them. so will wait untill angels are bigger, basically adults. then put them in with about 20 medium to medium/large clown loaches at the samt time, this will confuse the aro. also aro must be fully fed before intro. but yeah, gonna start putting the wood in the aro tank later on closer to when the angels are ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henward Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 a number of times the true altums have been imported in. I remember phil collis having them - imported wild types. also an outfit in tauranga apparently has imported them a few times before. there must be some specimens lying around?

Fruju Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 True Altums came in once at HFF. Years and years ago. Hard to breed and expensive. For your purposes henward, normal ones will sufice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
