Yes they would but I think the extra female would be that, an extra. 1 pair would get along better

I wouldn't recommend this as African cichlids are likely to sttack the fins of long fin plecos

I'm currently working with four different types of wild Altum. I do not have fish from atabapo. I ship all over the continental United States from Shoreline, Washington. Typical selling size is US Quarter Coin Body. 3-4 months old. Captive bred Altum are similar in care to domestic Scalare angels. Wilds are only advisable for advanced keepers. Oftentimes I cannot save them

You can keep many of these in the tank. I have a 150 gallon planted with more than a dozen. I'm not sure if they would attack your inverts are not but it would be a risk for sure

Also I've seen these to be jumpers especially when they're just getting established into the aquarium

@@shorelineaquatics5210you think I can keep this with 18-20 congo tetras and maybe a congo puffer?

What about with 8 German Blue Rams? Is 6 of these, 18 congo tetras, and the 8 GBR’s doable in the 185?

Thank you I really appreciate it... I hope to have fish available by the end of this year 2024. 🙏

@@shorelineaquatics5210 What locale? Atabapo per chance?

It happens fast. The idea is to mix into the slurry very quickly and then take it out right away. Don't let it cook

After that it needs to be panned right away Perhaps it is cooling for you too fast and seizing up

​@@shorelineaquatics5210 Actually the lumps formed immediately once i added the mix in the agar agar boiling water when i started to whisk it, I actually added a little too much water and I had set the flame too high and it reacted immediately...I quickly removed some water and then added some more agar powder and it finally came like yours but some lumps here and there...I think we can turn off the stove once the agar slurry is whisked properly in the boiling water and then later add the mix and whisk again faster to stop further cooking of the mix...I will try that next time and see....Thanks for this awesome method, Yours is the only video in youtube explaining this..👍

Thank you so much you will not be disappointed😊

Thank you! @@shorelineaquatics5210

Thank you. Perhaps 2025

thanks Thomas@@shorelineaquatics5210

I do not have any Atabapo. I am working with Orinoco, Vichada, Ventuari, and Negro San Felipe Altum

Thank you so much

This tank the water goes in at about 20 tds. The ph settles naturally to about 5.5 There are some botanicals in there like the driftwood and cattapa leaves, but, the water stays clear mostly because I do weekly water changes at about 66%

@@shorelineaquatics5210 Thanks very much. What type of Altums are those in the video? Atabapo, or Orinoco?

Neither. Rio Ventuari

I use sand from Carib Sea. I believe it to be quartz. Inert furnishings filter media and substrate. Botanicals like leaves and driftwood. RO water

Tank bred @ 1.5 year. Wild 2 years+ +

@@shorelineaquatics5210 Thank you once again brother. What’s the Altum approx breeding tank volume??? Is it possible to grow discus babies (coin size) along with f1 Altums size around 1.5 inches??

Just wonder how much is small size usually it goes vs wholesale price??

Small price last year was $90..a great deal since the last wilds I purchased were at 85 & 100 in 2023.. these look great and arrive healthy. There is no wholesale price list..thanks

Glad it was helpful!

Over the years I have learned to avoid freshwater live and frozen foods. Most likely feeding bloodworms to healthy Altum will be fine. There is some element of risk. I'm more likely to take these type of risks when I'm trying to spawn fish. I think the best frozen food is spirulina brine shrimp. Frozen foods can possibly contain bad bacteria, but since this food is saltwater grown, it is not likely to contain parasites or protozoa.

@@shorelineaquatics5210 Thank you so much for sharing your valuable experience. Do you also recommend sanitise and wash well quality frozen artemia with potassium permanganate before feeding to altum babies??

I've never heard of this fish food cleaning process..In general, fish that are healthy can resist many things. Bacteria is a part of life. Look up "Germ vs Terrain Theory" Aquarium fish living in a bubble is not the goal.

@@shorelineaquatics5210 Thank you so much ☺️ for all the support!!!

@@jojyp You're welcome

Yes

I used to feed freshwater live food. Over the years I've had some problems the introduction of harmful bacteria and pathogens. The number one food for baby fish is baby brine shrimp.

​@@shorelineaquatics5210 Thank you so much for the valuable info.

@@jojyp you're welcome good luck with your fish

How much maintenance is required depends on the stocking levels. I like to have 10 or 12 fish together to grow up.. I like to use really big tanks 200+ gallons but you can get away with a 6 foot 125 gallon. My maintenance would be weekly changing water 60% or more.. I would clean my mechanical filtration once every two weeks. I feed a vegetable-based flake food in the morning and later in the day brine or mysis shrimp. These fish can adapt to eat most dry foods that are offered. I currently have a tank that is 240 gallons it has 30 sub adult altum. I consider this overstocked. I change this water twice a week as low as I can without scaring the fish. In general I don't like to change lower than the fish are tall with the fins. I also favored tanks that are tall. 30 inches high is super nice..enjoy!

@@shorelineaquatics5210 thank you so much for all the information!!! One more question I have around 7 pieces f1 small babies in 35 gallon tank now. Is it okay to change 50 percent after every 2 days or 3 days with aged water 💦??

@@jojyp Riverine fishes love water changes. You can change the water everyday if you like. I use a python type water fill system and go straight unaged to the tank.. I add the dechlorinator afterwards. Just because they accept daily water changes doesn't mean that this is necessary. What you're looking for is the right amount of care. Sometimes over care can leave the fish weaker when they are exposed to small amounts of pollution. Something to consider. Good luck

@@shorelineaquatics5210 Thank you so much 😊 for all the information ℹ️. Really appreciate your help and advice.

@@jojyp you're welcome

I follow you on Instagram.. your tank looks great! Thank you so much

As soon as these fish become sexable I will sell them as pairs.

Any updates?

Absolutely I would recommend reverse osmosis in your case. These fish do not require a large amount of space so this helps. In another month or so I would fully expect these fish to be sexable so if you don't want so many fish you'll be able to pick up a male-female pair

@@shorelineaquatics5210 Awesome!! Ill be waiting to get a pair for my science classes blackwater tank im doing

5.5 / 18

I believe sometimes F1 pairs are available on aquabid shipped all over the world from Sweden. I'm not sure what this would cost with import regulations and duties going into Japan, but, to get this started over there for everybody it might be worth it. Shoreline Aquatics is not currently setup for export. In the next few years that can change possibly. Thank you so much and happy fish keeping!

Thank you Andrew. Unfortunately the fish that I had from this cross we're lost. Although people were kind enough to offer them back to me, I decided to move on and get all new Wild pterophyllum altum to try to spawn in 2024.

Thank you❤

We are going to find out if they will next year hopefully❤

Is the common technique in cooking to dissolve starch in water that way it's not lumpy and it's constant throughout the food. It will not stick to the pan as.long as the pan is smooth. Thanks!

Thank you so much

Thank you so much...

@shorelineaquatics5210 absolutely. your fish are the only ones that have ever stayed alive for me. i have ordered from other places with zero success

You're welcome. Thank you Ben

Absolutely. Thank you.so much

Use fish from saltwater. Freshwater fish meat may contain pathogens and or parasites that are transferable

I keep four of these in a 20 gallon tank

@@shorelineaquatics5210 thank you! Do they ruin plants or can they live in a planted tank?

@@esse3978 they can. If you let them get too hungry they can possibly eat some plants. I noticed that anubias and java fern seem to be left alone for sure. Softer plants like WIsteria for example would be the first to be eaten if you let your fish get too hungry. Even though the tank might be full of plants I would still recommend maintaining a regular water change schedule
