$49.99

A rarely seen and distinctive regional variant of freshwater Angelfish, P. scalare from the lower Tapajos river in Brazil is also called by the trade name “Tapajos Altum” or “Santarem Altum” although it is not the true Altum Angel from the Orinoco basin of Colombia and Venezuela. This variant is known for its particularly tall fins and unusual pattern of bars. A beautiful and unique fish, they prefer warm, soft, acidic water and are relatively undemanding in the aquarium.
