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??

If only we can lay our hands on those F1 batches. Altums are only commercially bred from Germany and there's not even enough numbers to supply the world. We have gotten them before, very good survival rates above 90%, but they are not cheap and not always available. Yes there are red speckles on some specimens. Can't tell whether its a geographical variant or only in wild ones. It's probably down to individuals only.
