Overview:
The Atabapo Altum Angelfish is the largest and most elegant of all freshwater angelfish species, revered for its tall, gracefully extended fins, compressed body, and striking vertical stripes. This rare Atabapo variant features deeper red hues in the head and gill plates, adding a fiery accent to its silver and bronze body. It's a true showpiece for serious aquarists and biotope enthusiasts.

Origin:
Collected from the Atabapo River, a tributary of the upper Orinoco River in Venezuela, Pterophyllum altum thrives in soft, acidic blackwater conditions among submerged roots and leaf litter.

Feeding:
Altums are omnivorous, with a preference for protein-rich foods. Offer a varied diet of high-quality flakes or pellets, frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp, mysis, and occasional live food for conditioning.

Tank Mates:
Best kept with peaceful, calm species that thrive in similar water parameters—such as cardinal tetras, hatchetfish, rummy nose tetras, pencilfish, and Corydoras. Avoid fin-nipping or boisterous species that may stress the Altum.

Water Parameters:


  • Temperature: 82–86°F (28–30°C)

  • pH: 4.5–6.5

  • GH: 1–5 dGH (very soft water)

  • Minimum Tank Size: 75+ gallons, 24"+ height recommended

  • Requires pristine water, gentle flow, and regular maintenance

Aquascaping Tips:


  • Mimic their natural habitat with driftwood, tall plants, leaf litter, and subdued lighting

  • Blackwater setups with tinted water (from botanicals or peat) are ideal for long-term health and stress reduction

Special Notes:


  • Sensitive to water quality – ideal for advanced aquarists

  • Can be shy initially; becomes confident once acclimated

  • May form pairs and breed in soft, clean conditions

  • Known for their graceful swimming and calm presence

The Atabapo Altum Angelfish is not just a fish—it’s a statement. Ideal for aquarists seeking an authentic South American biotope, or a centerpiece species with unmatched elegance, personality, and rarity. With proper care, this living artwork will thrive and mesmerize for years.

The sheet is too short for my liking
Color: Heather Grey(flat Sheet Only), Size: King
This king sized top sheet wasn’t quite long enough for a good tuck-in. Can’t comment on wearability because I won’t be using it. Did not return because I had washed it

Warm and Soft
Color: Solid Forest Green(flat Sheet Only), Size: King
I wanted a sheet that felt warm in the cold weather. Upon reviewing several other sheets, I took a chance on this type. I’m happy I did, no more cold feet in bed! It washes and dries (on low temp.) very well too.

So I’ve purchased these twice
I purchased these sheets twice because I like them that much. I’m really particular about the texture and material of the sheets I use. After trying jersey sheets about 5-6 years ago, I refused to go back to microfiber. They have the feel of a t-shirt, but it’s your bedding. I love the feeling for my pillowcases, too. This brand’s sheets fit my mattress perfectly. My mattress is a queen sized Casper mattress and 11 inches thick. I’m also a restless sleeper. If the sheets don’t have deep enough pockets, the corners become loose and the fitted sheet tries to escape the mattress. These stay perfectly in place no matter how much I move. As a general note, though, since I see this a lot—PLEASE check the thickness of your mattress! Not all sheets have the same pocket depth! If your mattress is 8 inches thick and you’re buying sheets that are for 6 inches of thickness, it’s not going to fit right! If your mattress is 8 inches thick and you’re purchasing sheets that are for 11+ inches of thickness, they’re more than likely going to be too big, but more likely to stay in place if you buy too small. Still, loose sheets tend to bunch on the actual sleep surface and create uncomfortable fabric ridges. Don’t do that to yourself. Buy the right sized sheets for your mattress! For me, these are perfect! I love the colors available. I tend to buy lighter grays and teals for my bed. They survive my restless sleeping and yucky, sticky humidity of northeastern coast summers. The color doesn’t bleed out when washed. They’re such a soft, comfy texture. The other thing about jersey knit sheets is that the top sheet drapes over your body with a bit more weight. Microfiber is lighter and doesn’t give you the ‘completely covered’ feeling that I find I love about the jersey knit sheets. The jersey knit sheets, I find, because of the material weight, naturally sit and slightly conform to the form they are draped upon. Once again, being a restless sleeper, I do not have to worry that my tossing and turning will cause the sheet to attempt escape from my bed and body on its own. But they also do not make me feel additional warmth. I do not like being hot when I sleep. They are perfectly cool on their own or with a light knit blanket on top. They won’t trap in heat that you don’t want them to. If you want to trap heat, add a warmer blanket. They do tend to be a little on the expensive side in comparison to other jersey knit sheets, so I tend to wait for the sales to grab them! But I really, really like this brand.
