The Scalare x Altum Hybrid Angelfish is a rare and striking hybrid between the classic Freshwater Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) and the majestic Altum Angelfish (Pterophyllum altum). This cross combines the graceful fins and tall body of the Altum with the hardiness and adaptability of the Scalare, resulting in a truly unique centerpiece fish for advanced aquarists. 🐠✨

Known for their elongated fins, taller body shape, and bold vertical striping, these hybrids thrive in aquariums with plenty of swimming space, calm tank mates, and stable warm water conditions. They make an impressive addition to any planted or display aquarium. 🌿
