Description
The Bulgarian Blue Angelfish is a stunning selectively bred variety of Pterophyllum scalare, imported directly from Southeast Asia and prized for its remarkable iridescent coloration and graceful finnage. Under aquarium lighting, these angelfish display a beautiful pearlescent blue sheen accented with subtle green and gold highlights that shimmer as they swim, creating an elegant centerpiece for any freshwater aquarium.
Like all angelfish, Bulgarian Blues are cichlids with curious, intelligent personalities. They thrive in tall, well-planted aquariums with open swimming space and are best kept in groups of five or more when young to help reduce territorial behavior as they mature.
Our Choice — Each fish is hand-selected from our current inventory. Every Bulgarian Blue Angelfish is unique, with slight variations in coloration, pattern, and iridescence.

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
"What You See is What You Get" collection?
With our "What You See is What You Get" collection, you can view the exact fish you'll be receiving. Each fish is photographed individually, so you know exactly what you're purchasing before it arrives at your door.
Do you offer a live arrival guarantee?
Yes! We offer a 100% live arrival guarantee. Our fish are shipped directly from our collections with care, and we stand behind their quality. If your fish arrive in poor condition, please contact us within 24 hours with a photo, and we’ll provide a replacement or refund, as per our terms and conditions.
What is the Direct from Farm collection?
The Direct from Farm collection is our preorder system where you can select fish directly from our farm in Thailand. Because we carefully source each fish, this process takes a little longer—approximately 2 weeks for the fish to arrive from Thailand and another week for quarantine before being shipped to you. This ensures that your fish are healthy and acclimated before they reach your aquarium.
How do I care for my new fish once they arrive?
When your fish arrive, it’s important to acclimate them gradually to your tank’s water temperature. Ensure your aquarium is fully cycled and that water parameters (temperature, pH, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels) are stable. If you need any tips on setting up your tank or caring for your fish, feel free to reach out!
