Beautiful fish are the Altum Angels. I keep Angels, but wish I could keep the Altum ones. Thanks for making this video and letting us see where these gorgeous fish come from, and especially seeing them in their natural habitat.
Wonderful video, great images quality and amazing fishes. Thanks a lot for sharing your trip and your knowledge. I am looking forward for new chapters. Greetings from Spain
Thank you for your kind words! We continue to work on English language films. Unfortunately it always takes a little longer than planned. But we try! Best wishes to the States, Andreas
i disagree! people hunt them and cook them, poisom their enviroment, cut down trees in junge etc... only way of saving them is to tell fisherman that if they dont cook them and dont destroy their enviroment, they can sell them for lot of money and buy lot of food and they can eat better then by cooking them. if they protect their enviroment, fish will breed and produce new fish for them to sell and people can live just out of selling them for generations and dont need to cut down trees from forest and cook fish. There is possibility that they catch all of them if the demand is high and they dont let the fish to reproduce first, thats why people in this video catch those fish to breed and sell them in europe. Tell me again, do you still think is it better to not catch them?
Hello Fernando. It is true, our expedition was - as always - of Venezuela (Puerto Ayacucho) from. The shots with the Altum-Angels created but on the Colombian side. We had several days in the border area. If we are back in Venezuela (maybe February 2014?), I say you know in advance. Maybe we do something together? Best regards, Andreas
When I was a kid, during the 80's, I used to study about the Angels. I knew about the Altums from drawings, not even pictures. I've seen P. leopoldi, besides P. scalare, but never saw an Altum at the store where I live yet. I'm always looking for videos here and there. This video is great! I wonder why most hobbyists don't try to reproduce the color of the water, so the fish could feel more comfortable in the tanks. What would be the pH recommended? About 6.5? Temperature of 30-32°C? Very nice! Thanks for sharing!
I think Altums do not breed in tanks and therefore, have to be catched in the wild... but if there are a lot of tanklovers with Altums, will there be enough fish left in the wild to garantuee the species in the future ? (to be clear : I'm talking about Pt. Altums and not Pt. Scalares, which can be bred in tanks).
If you knew any better... you would know that it's pollution and habitat loss that is threatening ALL species in the Amazon!!!!! I believe altums discus Cardinal tetra and several others are not only commercially bred and farmed in Peru and abroad but heavily regulated by the natives in and around Columbia waters and so on!!!!! Illegal gold miners are literally poisoning our precious Amazon and fishing is the least concern!!!!?
Inspiring brilliant video!!! I have bought 14 Altums that didn't come from this river, but the Inirida. They are doing really well! Does anybody know what other fish species come from the rio Inirida? (Teras, dwarf cichilids etc) as I want some small peaceful tankmates for them that they would know from the wild (rio Irinida biotope) Thanks!
Hi Jack, thanks for your kind comment! I recommend for you this fish species: Mesonauta insignis, Satanoperca daemon, Chalceus macrolepidotus, Moenkhausia pittieri. All these species of fish are in front of the basin of the Rio Atabapo / Rio Inirida. I hope I could help you! Regards, Andreas
nice video Part 1.2 and 3 beautiful expedition collecting Wild Pterophyllum Altum thanks for sharing this for Free without buying books. Simon tank bred altums ARE ALTUMS NOT SCALARE ☺☺ happy fish keeping
Hallo Mel, vielen Dank für Deine freundlichen Worte. Natürlich kann man an unseren Expeditionen teilnehmen. Man meldet sich unverbindlich an und hofft auf einen freien Platz. Meistens klappt das dann auch irgendwann. Beste Grüße, Andreas
Nein, kann man nicht. Es kommt auf immer auf die Expertise der betreffenden Personen an. Mit entsprechenden Fachkenntnissen und ein wenig Verantwortungsgefühl für die Tiere, sind die Verluste sehr gering. Beste Grüße, Andreas

5:55 red 'cardinals', no?
There so many people fishing wild Ángels without any Control, the the Especie will dissapear from it own Environment. :/

Captive breeding has already developed a lot, in Brazil it is not catch, it is cheaper to breed it than to transport it from within the Amazon!
Pedro Martínez نننتههه

Hi! Amazing video, would love to have the water parameters from where the altums were caught? thanks a lot!!
I want some. Do u have to go there to catch and bring them home?
cool
blauer guppy Danke, freut uns, wenn´s gefällt. Es gibt auch eine deutschsprachige Version! ;-) Beste Grüße.
excellent !
These are "Mesonauta insignis". Regards, Andreas
You're welcome, best regards.
Hey, tolles Video.
Kann man eigentlich prozentual angeben, wie viele Tiere beim importieren sterben?
nice video Part 1.2 and 3
beautiful expedition collecting Wild Pterophyllum Altum
thanks for sharing this for Free

Simon tank bred altums ARE ALTUMS NOT SCALARE ☺☺

This old vidio . About thousand years ago . Dont u hv a new one
Flag cichlids (Mesonauta insignis). Best Regards, Andreas
Are those red atabao altum. 0-0 Their pelvic fins are yellow. I wonder they are scalare or altum.
That is correct! It is an error of translation. Thanks for the note and Regards, Andreas
I have these in my aquarium
about 6.00 they are cardinals :P
Weiß jemand wie die Musik heißt bei der das erste mal Altums gezeigt werden? Wäre super :)
P. altum is bred in the aquarium! 2nd Part of the film shows it. Regards.
What species is at 7:15?
Leporinus spec.
原生地的風情！
Paracheirodon axelrodi! There is an error in the translation from German.
Best regards, Andreas
I'd like to have some
please enable subtitles
Another species heading for the extinct list
Not a chance.
nah
wordonawing
Well, yes. But it’s due to pollution and loss of habitats.
Gorgeus..my dreamfishes too had reared ones that I lost because of waterpipes being renovated by council...couldnt do anything DAMN😡😡😡😡
Cardinals - not Neons. Festive cichlids. Dawn - - and then abruptly it is night?!!!
Almondtree Watchman
Neons, this is Europe.
👍👍
They are not in Colombia, are in Venezuela.
5:56 not neons, its cardinalis!
Convantol
Neons, this is Europe.

Leave them in peace
Wrong! Colombian inflows of "Rio Atabapo"! Best regards.
Can anyone successful breeding this in captive yet?
Yes! www.skalarezucht.de
Nein, kann man nicht. Es kommt auf immer auf die Expertise der betreffenden Personen an. Mit entsprechenden Fachkenntnissen und ein wenig Verantwortungsgefühl für die Tiere, sind die Verluste sehr gering. Beste Grüße, Andreas
