Overview:
The Atabapo Altum Angelfish is the largest and most elegant of all freshwater angelfish species, revered for its tall, gracefully extended fins, compressed body, and striking vertical stripes. This rare Atabapo variant features deeper red hues in the head and gill plates, adding a fiery accent to its silver and bronze body. It's a true showpiece for serious aquarists and biotope enthusiasts.

Origin:
Collected from the Atabapo River, a tributary of the upper Orinoco River in Venezuela, Pterophyllum altum thrives in soft, acidic blackwater conditions among submerged roots and leaf litter.

Feeding:
Altums are omnivorous, with a preference for protein-rich foods. Offer a varied diet of high-quality flakes or pellets, frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp, mysis, and occasional live food for conditioning.

Tank Mates:
Best kept with peaceful, calm species that thrive in similar water parameters—such as cardinal tetras, hatchetfish, rummy nose tetras, pencilfish, and Corydoras. Avoid fin-nipping or boisterous species that may stress the Altum.

Water Parameters:


  • Temperature: 82–86°F (28–30°C)

  • pH: 4.5–6.5

  • GH: 1–5 dGH (very soft water)

  • Minimum Tank Size: 75+ gallons, 24"+ height recommended

  • Requires pristine water, gentle flow, and regular maintenance

Aquascaping Tips:


  • Mimic their natural habitat with driftwood, tall plants, leaf litter, and subdued lighting

  • Blackwater setups with tinted water (from botanicals or peat) are ideal for long-term health and stress reduction

Special Notes:


  • Sensitive to water quality – ideal for advanced aquarists

  • Can be shy initially; becomes confident once acclimated

  • May form pairs and breed in soft, clean conditions

  • Known for their graceful swimming and calm presence

The Atabapo Altum Angelfish is not just a fish—it’s a statement. Ideal for aquarists seeking an authentic South American biotope, or a centerpiece species with unmatched elegance, personality, and rarity. With proper care, this living artwork will thrive and mesmerize for years.

Would not buy again
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 6.9 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Would not order these again. Opening in bone is too small making it almost impossible for even a small dog to reach peanut butter inside.

Perfect size
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 6.9 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I like this size. I’ve gotten the larger ones in the past, but my 45 pound dogs can’t get to the center. This size works much better for them. They love them.

my dog says NO
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 6.9 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My dog sniffs both ends of this bone then walks away. I see in inside of it is very hard so I decided to soak it in some hot water for awhile and see what she does with it. If it works I will update. Update. Soaking didn't help. So that bone went in the trash.

My dogs love them
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My dogs love these. They don’t last very long but my dogs are big, and they aren’t messy. I also like how they don’t stink like some chews.
