Albino Dantum Angelfish – The Ethereal, Altum-Like Beauty

Elevate your aquarium with the breathtaking Albino Dantum Angelfish. The Dantum strain is legendary in the aquarium hobby for its incredibly tall, majestic profile that closely mirrors the highly prized true Altum angelfish (Pterophyllum altum), but with the hardiness and adaptability of domestic Pterophyllum scalare. The Albino variant takes this elegance a step further. Lacking dark pigments, these fish boast a stunning pearlescent white to golden body, highlighted by striking, jewel-like red eyes. Under aquarium lighting, their faint, ghost-like vertical barring may subtly appear. Graceful, peaceful, and absolutely mesmerizing, the Albino Dantum is the ultimate centerpiece for any large, planted display tank.

Key Features 

• Altum-Like Profile: Known for their exceptionally tall, vertical finnage and deep bodies, giving them a much larger and more imposing presence than standard angelfish.

• Stunning Albino Traits: Features a beautiful, glowing platinum-gold body contrasted by vibrant red eyes.

• Hardy & Adaptable: While they share the majestic look of the wild Altum, they are much easier to keep, being highly adaptable to standard aquarium conditions.

• Graceful Centerpiece: Their slow, elegant swimming style brings a sense of calm and sophistication to the aquarium.

• Premium Quality: Our specimens are carefully selected for pristine finnage, robust health, and excellent body shape.

Care Requirements

• Tank Size: A 40-gallon “tall” tank is the absolute minimum for a young pair. However, a 75-gallon or larger is highly recommended to accommodate their impressive vertical height as adults.

• Water Temperature: 78–84°F (25–29°C) – they appreciate slightly warmer water.

• pH Range: 6.0–7.4 (Thrives in slightly acidic to neutral, well-filtered water).

• Diet: Omnivorous and eager eaters. Feed a varied diet of high-quality flakes, granules, and plenty of frozen or live foods (bloodworms, brine shrimp, mysis) to promote optimal growth and fin development.

• Tank Mates: Best kept with other peaceful, medium-sized fish. Excellent companions include Corydoras, larger Tetras (like Rummy Nose or Lemon Tetras), and peaceful Geophagus. Strictly avoid fin-nipping fish (like Tiger Barbs) that will damage their trailing fins, as well as very small fish that might fit into their mouths.
