I use cattapa leaves to bring down the ph in my semi-BB tank for the bigger alts.[950liters]
I think our friend PiscesLim got some tips to breed altums from Horst Linke if I'm not mistaken.
Varied diet. Tall tank- minimum 2ft. low pH, low gH and lots of space.

Hi Stan,
Did you buy the wild caught or F1 stock of Taiwan/German???
CC,
I would assume that is F1 stock available, it would be more viable compare to wild stock, I am talking about surviavl rate being better since shorter travelling and more hardy and adaptable to local water condition.
Am I right or too far wrong??
By the way, I notice in some pic certain altum show red spot arond the head and shoulder area while other pic don show that.
Is this red spot a signature of wild caught altum? or just some individual difference?? or strain difference??
