I have kept fish in the UK for 50 years or so on and off wild angels have always been my passion discus a beautiful distraction I was in and out of the trade in my younger years . I just want to thank you for deciding to breed pure lines . Unfortunately we need to turn our passion into a conversation project you new generation are embracing that 🙏

[@shorelineaquatics5210]

You're welcome. Thank you Ben

[@zsworld6609]

oh can't wait. i love your fish

[@shorelineaquatics5210]

Thank you so much...

[@zsworld6609]

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

I was looking for Atabapo altums, but man these are every bit as nice! These are incredible!!! What size do you sell these at and do you find them like typical tank bred...ie. far less problems than wild caughts? Thanks for your time. Where are you? Can you ship?

[@shorelineaquatics5210]

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

Thomas, do you know when you will have the Rio Ventuari available for sale? These are beautiful Altums

[@shorelineaquatics5210]

Thank you. Perhaps 2025

[@Matthias.Terboven-Aquaristik]

good Video, nice Fish! thank you for share and new sub for you 😉😉

[@shorelineaquatics5210]

Thank you so much

[@Alex_Correa]

What do you do there for water parameters and quality? RO water? Activated carbon? DKH, pH, temp? Nice fish!

[@shorelineaquatics5210]

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%

[@Alex_Correa]

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

[@shorelineaquatics5210]

Neither. Rio Ventuari

[@stockcat2000]

[@shorelineaquatics5210]

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