More about Altum angelfish

The Altum Angelfish, known for its captivating beauty, boasts a color palette of silvery body with distinct vertical black stripes. Originating from the Amazon Basin in South America, this species stands out with its elegant elongated fins and a notably taller body compared to other angelfish. While it is highly admired among aquarists, the Altum Angelfish is considered more challenging to keep due to its specific care requirements, making it a prized possession in the hobby but less common than its easier-to-care-for relatives.
