Va fasen mannen har du blitt lurad ? :nothappy:

Den är ingen altum iaf även om den ser ut att vara en tjusig vanlig skalar :wink:


Edit in english :blush3: No altums there patrik and that i now see that many others already have told you in the other thread that i just saw but it´s a nice looking p. scalare but way too expensive dude so go back with them and get your money back :tumme2:

Hi,

just back from India (expedition with beautiful new discoveries of some amazonh hillstream loaches) a fast answer:

This is the typical Pterophyllum which was described as P. emeckei and later placed in synonomy with P. scalare (but I belive it is a good species, some a re working on it...). This angelfish lives only in the liower Amazon region, from the Rio Negro to near the Amazon mouth - in its tributaries.

These are very nice (and have nothing at all to do with P. altum), a species that stays smaller, never as large as most of the others.

best regards
