Description

Bulgarian Seal Point angels genetically have a combination of Dark and Bulgarian Green genes.  Those that develop a light grey coloring on the anal and dorsal fins will be D/+ bg/bg; and those with a dark black fin coloring will be D/D bg/bg.  These angels may also include Stripeless genes.

Bulgarian Seal Point angels continue to develop their coloring into adulthood.  The body loses any dark coloring it may display while a juvenile; and fin coloring will often fade or darken based on the overall health, mood and behavior of the individual.

It took us over 5 years to produce a BSP Veil.  The Bulgarian Green genes do not follow expected genetic rules like the other known genes do with freshwater angelfish.  But we kept trying and after producing thousands finally we had a few that were expressing the longer veil fins.  After raising and pairing them we have been lucky enough to reliably reproduce BSP Veils.  And an added bonus, we have noticed that the standard fins are stronger and not as prone to deformities as we experienced before when pairing a BSP Veil with a standard fin.

 

Angelfish Care Guide and Other Information

Scientific NamePterophyllum scalare
TemperamentSemi-Aggressive. Angelfish can make good community fish; however, due to their semi-aggressive nature, they need to be closely monitored...and deal with if they become too aggressive. For this reason we do not recommend angelfish for beginners.
Lifespan10-15 years with proper care.
Adult SizeThe central body will reach a large dollar coin, approx 3-4 inches in diameter, excluding the fins. Depending on the fin type on how big their overall size can become. Also, angelfish will continue to slowly grow and bulk up as they age.
General Hardness8 dGH or 100 TDS. Angelfish do best in soft water, but can easily adapt to hard water. If mineralization is too high eggs may not hatch. When this happens may need to consider alternate methods if wanting to breed.
Tank Size20 Gallon High for the first angelfish; and an additional 10 gallons for each additional angel.
Group SizeAngelfish can be kept in singles or in groups. While juveniles, they do best in groups. But once they mature, they may begin to fight for territory and for their mate. To minimize squabbles, do not house 3 together as the dominant two will pick on and potentially kill the submissive one.
HabitatFreshwater
Dietary NeedsOmnivore. Angelfish extra protein and plant sources for optimum health. Options include:
  • Gourmet Cichlid Flake or Tropical Color Flake
  • Artemia Flake - especially when raising red or deep orange varieties
  • Newly hatched Baby Brine Shrimp Eggs (BBS)
  • Golden Pearls - great alternative to hatching BBS. Our last spawn was raised on these.
  • Sticks - any flavor. My angels enjoy Beefheart Sticks, Bloodworm Sticks, Silkworm Sticks, Spirulina Sticks, Very Veggie Sticks, and much more.
  • Organic Granules
  • Repashy
  • Even fresh veggies and occasional fruits. But be aware, fresh foods can quickly pollute the tank. I like to use fresh foods 1-2 days before doing water changes or maintenance to clean up
BreedingAngels can learn to parent raise their offspring if housed in their own tank 29 gallons or larger; or can pull the eggs and hatch artificially.
