Bonjour. Cela fait bientôt trois ans que je possède cinq Altum Atapabo sauvage et je n'arrive pas à avoir une reproduction ni de point rouge sur les flancs.
pourtant je mets de l'eau de pluie dans l'aquarium de 1 m de long sur 90 cm d'eau et 90 cm de large, le PH de mon et de 5 ,pas de GH et de KH l'eau est à une température de 27°.
Désolé de ne pas mettre de photos, cela me met fichier trop volumineux.

With only 5 fish, the math just isn’t really on your side. Most WC altum are just too scared to spawn in captivity. Out of 100 adults, you may be lucky enough to get 1 female that will be brave enough to spawn.

Spawning WC altums is hard. It took me 300 WC imports to get just two pairs of WC fish that would spawn. I was offered some advice near the beginning of my altum spawn quest. If you want to spawn altums, start with F1/CB stock, with no fear to fight they are very easy to spawn.

WC = wild caught
F1 = first generation in captivity
CB = captive bred (generation number irrelevant)
