		The three valid species of freshwater angels, genus Pterophyllum ("tare-oh-fill-um") are members of the Cichlidae, with some 1,300 described species, the second largest (after the minnows) family of freshwater fishes.
		Though Scalare's will tolerate a wide range of water quality, the values stated above (pH range: 6.0 - 8.0; dH range: 5.0 - 13.0, temp.: 24 - 30°C.) are the practical limits for their care in captivity.

		Follow the same guidelines as for P. scalare and you probably won't go far wrong, although softer, more acidic conditions will probably be needed to get wild fish to spawn.
		The so-called Peruvian altum, for example, closely resembles P. scalare but has a lower number of scales in the lateral series - it is erroneously sold as P. altum in the UK.
		You can distinguish altum from scalare by looking at the pre-dorsal profile and the size and number of stripes, however, since there appear to be several other Pterophyllum that fall within altum and scalare, identification can be tricky.
