new freshwater fishes

altum angel
In addition to my marine tank, I also keep a 90 gallon fresh water system. This week I added many fresh plants and 3 new fishes: two altum angels (Pterophyllum altum) and a baby severum.

The angels took two days to acclimate to my busy tank and start eating, but are quite happy now. It seems that I got lucky, as they are getting along very well together. Maybe a male-female pair. They are very beautiful fish.

The freshwater tank looks great! Just got done checking out some of the pix in your Flickr account. What type of live plants do you have in there?

I had some nice grassy plants (a jungle val?) that disappeared within two weeks of planting. But all my swords are doing well. I have some large Amazon swords and a round leaf sword of some sort. I have some reddish plants (Ludwigia) that are looking nice, too.

I really need to change my light bulbs. My fresh water tank could use more light. I bought fresh bulbs a couple weeks ago and just need to get a round tuit.,.,..

The fish seem to like the plants. I am especially enjoying the altums. They are very enthusiastic eaters.
