HAHAHA!!!... so long no come back now back see see nia got bros asking altums liao... hmm... let me say 1 first msg after MIA so long...

THEY ARE ALTUMS!!!

bros not sure have a look at the spot ard the eyes. the stripes and so on. 80% they are altums. but a bigger picture will justify it.

stunted finnage are ok. cause once altums are big, their fin to body shape ratio will be different. when they are in the teenage-adulthood period the ratio will start changing. but the fin to body ratio is longest when they are at the juv/ kids stage. when adult. its the body thats superbly attractive.

other altums bro REPLY!!!!

ok... upon opening thumnails, i will say THEY ARE altums. just that its in slightly different water parameter/ criterias. and also the mood of the 2 altums pictures shown are different. these 2 pictures have been posted before long time ago. finarama has great pictures of P altums. many bros confused them over P altums and P scarlare.

I agree with Armageddon. They appear to be Altums. The uneven and brownish bars combined with the pronounced pre-dorsal notch is typical of Altums.

They are altums alright. Make sure they have enough room to grow as well as they fins to well extend too.

Cheers.
