Peruvian Altum Angelfish Pterophyllum Scalare

The Peruvian Altum Angel (Pterophyllum scalare "Peruvian") is a majestic freshwater cichlid known for its tall, laterally compressed body and elegant fin extensions. Often mistaken for the true Altum Angelfish (Pterophyllum altum), this variety originates from Peru and features striking vertical stripes with a graceful swimming behavior. Hardy and adaptable, it thrives in well-maintained aquariums with soft, slightly acidic water, making it a popular choice among angelfish enthusiasts.
