XXL Wild Atabapo Altum Angel Fish 6-8″
$70.00 – $450.00
Did you know that singer Shirley Manson fronted an alternative rock band named Angelfish before being asked to join the better-known rock group Garbage? You might look at the Large Wild Atabapo and think of classical rather than rock music, but there’s no denying the musical grace of these creatures.
This Atabapo possesses the trademark tiger stripes associated with Altum angelfish, but they’re more translucent, letting you appreciate the yellowish gradient color beneath. Additionally, it’s body is more prominently round than the dramatic arrow-shape for which angelfish are known. The Large Wild Atabapo’s dorsal and anal fins taper in a manner reminiscent of wings. Meanwhile, its ventral fins are long and thin, adding to the fish’s peerlessly exotic appearance.

Description
You’re my velvet Elvis, I ain’t never gonna take you down,” sings Kacey Musgraves on a track from her Grammy-award winning album Golden Hour. While we can’t all win Album of the Year, we can all work towards creating an aquarium that will be “makin’ everybody jealous when they step into [your] house.” Why not add a velvet Elvis of your own with the XXL Wild Atabapo Altum Angel Fish? With its Pompadour-esque dorsal fin, it will appeal to fans of the King as well as anyone looking to add some stripes to their life. It may not exactly match the black and white stripes from Elvis’s iconic Jailhouse Rock outfit, but hey, it’s pretty darn close. This fish’s flamboyance is tempered by its neutral coloration, making it a subtle addition to even the boldest of color schemes.
He, his website, and business practices are a complete joke! I regret ever buying fish from this website or him. What a dishonest business man! Just type of "discus.com reviews" and you'll see countless negative complaints. I wish I would have read all of these reviews before ordering, not just looking at his positive reviews on his website.
I ordered 6-8inch Atabapo Altums and paid him $450 for them. He sends me 3-4 inch fish, explaining those were the largest that they can send. If they're not as you described, why did you send them?
He readily takes my money, and says I'd like to make this right after the fact. After several heated exchanges with him, he says he can give me a $70 refund for the mistake. Keep your stinking money! I will not order from him if he was the only fish shop online.
Learn from m $450 mistake. Money is not the issue. His dishonesty, greed, and unscrupulous business practices are the issue.
From Michael: FYI -- the reviews on my website are far less than "positive." If you look carefully, there are plenty of negative and not-so-great reviews. I publish everything because it's important that consumers receive all types of opinions--not only positive ones when making informed choices. This order illustrates the difficulty of running a business involving shipping live tropical fish, and anyone thinking that discus is a get rich quick scheme needs to reevaluate their notions.
Every seller has a different way of measuring their altums, but I measure mine vertically from tip to tip. Although I starve my fish prior to shipping for 48 hours, it's still very common for altums' fins to be ammonia burned during transit and for them to lose a few vertical inches, which usually heal within a few weeks or so. We're nearing the end of the Altum season, and I shipped this customer the absolute largest fish I had on hand. I acknowledge that a few specimens were at most an inch shorter than advertised when I shipped, but the order as a whole was correctly fulfilled. I tried very hard to work with this customer. In the end, he was very unreasonable and refused my partial refund offer. He even went as far as to ship me back the entire shipment without informing me. Needless to say, all the fish perished by the time they were returned back to me. Fern, I'm sorry it didn't work out, and I wish you the best of luck.
