Bulgarian Seal Point Angelfish
When the Iron Curtain fell over Eastern Europe in the Cold War, aquarium hobbyists in communist countries were left to their own devices and became adept breeders. Many natural genes of wild fish were isolated. Today, beautiful variations from that (hopefully) bygone era are found in the hobby. The Bulgarian gene promotes inky black fins on a cream or koi body. Seal Point angelfish have a cream body along with the distinct solid dark fins.
Note: Bulgarian Seal Point Angels may vary in appearance, typically distinguished by wide dark markings on the dorsal fin. Their body coloration can range from solid silver to silver with stripes.
