Thank you!
In the UK there are many good breeders, who will start working with the new gene.

The quality of your fish is already excellent, they don't need much "work" but it's great to have them over here at last.
They seem to be settling down well now, and we'll be putting them on sale early in the New Year, but here are a few slightly better photos taken today....
I'm interested to note that some are darker than others, and some of these show partial body banding, would I be correct in guessing that these are D/D individuals?

They're looking good Rob!!! Are these the only import into the UK so far?

There's just been the one import into the UK, but they didn't all come to me. I don't know which other shops took some. In total Raiko sent about 300 of the Bulgarian Greens through the wholesaler I pm'ed you about. I've taken 45 of them.

It'll be interesting to see where they turn up. We have dealt with them before, but its been a while, and just for CW.

Well I finally brought some of these home yesterday, and already they're looking very settled, although some still have red noses :-
I also brought home six of the black lace, but they're still camera shy!

Did their red 'snouts' clear up? I've been told that that's how they are (so perhaps it's not a stress / environmental problem).
Some greens turned up in my tank today :-) they went in fine, all fins proud. I haven't had a really good look at them yet, they're still in minimal light. I can't believe how big my other smokey zebra has grown.

Yes & No!....Did their red 'snouts' clear up?
The red has reduced on all, and on many of them it's gone completely, but some still show some signs of it.
If you look at the most recent photos I posted, you can still see it in the first & third photos, but not in the second and 4th.
Red snouts, especially when associated with redness at the edge of the fins can be a sign of septicemia, but I've also had light coloured fish, such as golds, which have lived happily for years with redness on their snouts. Since septicemia usually kills within days, clearly that's not the issue with these, but the fact that it's clearing does suggest that it's not 100% normal. On the other hand, since the fish are active, feeding & growing well, and the issue seems to be reducing rather than spreading, it's not something I'm too worried about, just something to keep an eye on.
Congratulations on getting yours, where did you find them?

I can't wait to see them in the morning in better light!I'd never seen redness around the mouth of a fish and it was evident in the batch I looked at today, it made me avoid picking those showing signs of it, just gut feeling. They were advertised as first uk import and I just liked how they presented themselves (if that makes sense) - unlike many other angelfish I have seen, which seem almost apologetic!
I have been looking for some new fish for a while and found these in Bradford, West Yorkshire (Not sure if I'm allowed to mention the actual shop, because I haven't read the forum rules word for word, ha ha). It was by chance really, well I say chance, actually, it's down to a lot of my hard weekend work 'touring' aquatic / pet / garden centres for angelfish.
In the picture, the lightest angel is at the back of the tank, that one has a bit of a snout and is the largest at about 2" body. The other 5 are more regular at 1"+.

Names are fine, so long as what you have to say isn't likely to be considered libelous.(Not sure if I'm allowed to mention the actual shop, because I haven't read the forum rules word for word, ha ha)
Perfect sense, Raiko's fish are are aquatic aristocrats and they swim with the confidence that comes from good breeding!I just liked how they presented themselves (if that makes sense) - unlike many other angelfish I have seen, which seem almost apologetic!

Just a couple more photos, they're starting to get belligerent with each other now ;-
the fins on some of these are quite spectacular too...

Nice photos, the second photo looks like the fish is just on an angle slightly (say 20 degrees) and it seems to me that that is when the green seems to be most apparent.
I wish I could get some good photos. Over the past couple of days I've noticed my greens becoming extremely lively and competitive for food, that said I'm near the end of my flake tub, so the bits are quite small and it's every fish for itself!
Enjoying these fish very much
