⚪ Bulgarian Seal Point Angelfish – Rare Genetics, Ghostly Elegance & Striking Contrast
The Bulgarian Seal Point Angelfish is one of the rarest and most visually unique freshwater angelfish varieties in the hobby. Known for its pale platinum body, darkened “seal point” fins and face, and ruby-red eyes, this striking variant is the result of complex European line breeding that enhances both color contrast and refined finnage.
Unlike standard marble or koi angels, the Bulgarian Seal Point features a clean, icy white-to-silver body that gradually transitions into deep charcoal-black points on its dorsal, caudal, and pelvic fins—similar to a Siamese cat’s markings, but on a sleek, graceful fish.
