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.

A beautiful and affecting book
Format: Hardcover
A beautiful and affecting book. The civil war is, at least to me, deeply familiar, but this book focuses on the personal, and conveys with a painful immediacy the ways that the horror of this conflict infiltrated and transformed the day-to-day existence of our not-so-distant ancestors. I was struck as I have never been before by the degree to which the appalling, unprecedented violence of the conflict was "just around the corner" for familiar and modern-seeming Americans.

Format: Hardcover
I have started using this in my US history survey class (along with our traditional textbook and primary sources) and my students LOVE it. Although it's not perfect, it's a great complement to other sources and offers a terrific way to talk about alternate ways to interpret history. In addition, my 11 and 14 year old sons have also read it and enjoyed it, so it's accessible for a broad range of ages. And, as my students note in their final papers, it's fun to read, and how often do gen ed students say that at the end of the semester?

Carry on with the great writing Rachel Lacey while I look for my next bodyguard book
Format: Kindle
I'm on a bodyguard reading kick right now, only wlw of course. I read this one for the first time about a year ago and somehow, I didn't leave a review. ( I'm good at hopping from one book to another and forgetting to write one. oopsy) I loved the bodyguard part but as stories go I always hate someone's parent dying. ( too much like real life) I know it's necessary to show why Natalie is so effed up. Rachel wrote a great ending to this story and that is always a plus in my eyes.

I really enjoyed the storyline and the emotional growth of the characters in this book. I’d been putting it off for a while but I’m glad I finally picked it up and took a chance on it because it was such a cute story.
