Altum angelfish — size comparison — facts and sources

The altum angelfish comes from the upper Negro and upper Orinoco and its tributaries. It has a very tall, strongly flattened body, silver sides with dark vertical bars and a pronounced notch above the mouth.

Long dorsal and anal fins create a towering outline, while thin pelvic fins hang below the body. Head-profile indentation and body proportions help distinguish Pterophyllum altum from the similar P. scalare.
