How do i tell the difference between an angelfish and an altum angel?

Answer 1

The face structure is quite different. In the picture below notice the "notch" about the altums mouth

Some scalare angels have this as well, but not so deep and pronounced.

Another note: I personally have never seen or even seen a photo of an altum with anything other than the striped pattern. No golds, albinos, marbled etc, etc that are seen on scalare.

Answer 2

price, the altum grows much larger, and has a(kind of upturned mouth) the altums are,nt available as much as scalare angels
