An assortment of wild angelfish purchased as "Ecuadorian" Altums. Not only is Pterophyllum altum not found in Ecuador, but as the fish settled in it became apparent that there may have even been more than one type of wild angelfish variant in the mix, with some fish showing hints of "Rio Nanay" type patterning, and others appearing more like "Manacapuru" Angels. Definitively not real altums, and the price given their size should have been a dead giveaway.
