The Altum Angel (Pterophyllum altum) is a majestic freshwater fish known for its tall, elegant fins and unique shape. Native to the Orinoco and Amazon river basins, it is more challenging to care for compared to common angelfish due to its specific water requirements. Altum Angels prefer soft, acidic water with a pH of 4.5-6.5 and thrive in tanks with a height that accommodates their vertical growth. They are peaceful yet delicate and are best kept in groups in a calm, stable environment. #Altum
