FS: Wild Caught Altum Angels

Hey All,
Here is something a bit different. We had someone put an order through at the shop for some altum angels and then after the fish were ordered he bailed on the order. So, for the first time ever (I believe in SA) we have so genuine wild caught Altum Angels for sale, not F1 or F2, but born and bred in the wild.
We have 7 of them. They were caught in the amazon basin, were quarantined for 3 weeks on the east coast, then for a further 2 weeks once we got them and now they are fully acclimatised and happy. Even living in Adelaide tapwater :O
They are just shy under $50 each and are about 4cms at the moment. They are stunning fish and would make an amazing feature fish in any tank. they are larger than the standard angel and slightly more aggressive but not overly, no where near as bad as some other cichlids.
PM me if you are interested and I can flick you some details.

yeah, we are actually about to open an online store (little teaser there for ya
) and are getting the shipping side of things all going. Prob not many fish (i.e. not in competition with here, more gear like filters etc). but the point is, we can ship, we have O2 and heaps of foam boxes so we can easily sort it. -
Wish I lived closer lol would have bought the lot :P

Well, sorry for all those interested but we Jordan bought them all today. Can not wait to see them grow up.

They're not true Orinoco Altums, they're "Peruensis Altum" from Rio Nanay, Peru - still, beautiful specimens.
Some more shots from today, and one picture of the aquarium I set up for them over the weekend:

They'll be with Doug for another day or two until I'm sure their new home is stable. -
Never really liked Angles they always seemed a bit boring looking for me.
These on the other hand look pretty amazing.. :-O -
