Size Chart Small: Up to 1.5 inches Medium: Up to 1.75 inches Large Body (Sub-Adult): Up to 2.5 inches 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.
