Bulgarian Sealpoint Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare)

Quarantined freshwater angelfish for taller planted aquariums and carefully selected community setups.

The Bulgarian Sealpoint Angelfish is a distinctive selective-breeding phenotype associated with the Bulgarian Green gene, recognized for its pale body and darker seal-point style markings. It is a modern specialty angelfish with strong collector appeal.

Why This Angelfish Stands Out

• Distinct seal-point style contrast and specialty colour genetics
• Standard-fin and longfin display options
• Premium domestic angelfish for curated planted aquariums

Aquarium Setup & Behaviour

Maintain in a tall, stable aquarium with planting or wood for structure, open swimming lanes and carefully selected tankmates. Longfin fish should be kept away from fin nippers.

Like other domestic angelfish, juveniles can be grown in groups in adequate space, while adults may develop pair-based territorial behaviour.

Feeding

Feed quality prepared staples with varied frozen/live foods to promote healthy growth and colour presentation.

Topick Aquarium Livestock Standard

All fish at Topick Aquarium are carefully quarantined and conditioned to our stable local tap water before sale. Although angelfish may be described in literature as preferring softer or more acidic natural conditions, we prioritize stable systems, gradual acclimation, good filtration, and healthy feeding before they become available to customers.

Care Summary

• Scientific Name: Pterophyllum scalare
• Adult Size: Up to approximately 15 cm body length, with greater height in longfin specimens
