Care guide
Use these notes to shape a setup around the fish, then speak with our team about the tank you have in mind.
Plan your setupBehaviour
These angelfish are generally peaceful but can display some territorial behaviour, especially during breeding. They do well in community tanks with other peaceful fish of similar size. They may become aggressive towards other angelfish if they feel their territory is threatened.
Tank planning
Maintain a well-planted aquarium with plenty of hiding spots and open swimming areas. Provide good water quality with regular water changes and ensure the water temperature is between 24-28°C. Bulgarian Seal Point Angelfish are sensitive to water parameters, so proper filtration and monitoring are essential.
