Bulgarian Green Seal Point Angelfish (3cm)

Bulgarian Green Seal Point Angelfish Care Guide

The Bulgarian Green Seal Point Angelfish is a stunning freshwater variety of Pterophyllum scalare, prized for its shimmering greenish hues and elegant fins. This selectively bred angelfish combines the graceful body shape of traditional angels with unique coloration that truly stands out in any aquarium.

Tank Requirements

• Tank Size: Minimum 100 L (ideally 150 L+ for a group)

• Temperature: 25 – 29 °C

• pH: 6.5 – 7.5

• Water Hardness: Soft to moderately hard (3 – 10 dGH)

• Filtration: Gentle yet efficient (use a sponge filter or canister filter to maintain stable water flow)

• Substrate & Décor: Sand or fine gravel, with driftwood, tall plants, and open swimming areas

️ Diet

Bulgarian Green Seal Points are omnivores.
Feed them a varied diet for best color and health:

• High-quality flakes or pellets (specifically for angelfish or cichlids)

• Frozen or live foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and daphnia

• Occasional vegetable matter like blanched spinach or spirulina-based foods

Feed small portions 2–3 times daily to avoid overfeeding.

Tank Mates

• Peaceful community fish that can tolerate similar water parameters

• Good choices: Corydoras, peaceful tetras (avoid fin-nippers like serpae tetras), dwarf gouramis, and small rainbowfish

• Avoid aggressive or very small fish that could be mistaken for food

Breeding

Pairs form naturally in mature groups. Once a pair bonds, they’ll lay eggs on a flat surface such as a leaf or rock. Keep the breeding tank calm and stable; both parents often guard the eggs and fry.

Interesting Fact

The Bulgarian Green Seal Point is a rare color morph developed through selective breeding in Eastern Europe. What makes it special is that its greenish metallic sheen only fully develops under the right lighting — meaning your aquarium light can literally “reveal” its hidden beauty! ✨
