Compared to say Nickel, not much is written about Bismuth. The anions are: perchlorates, chlorides, and (alkaline based) tartrates. All of the major plating books have something on plating the uncommon metals. Try Modern Electroplating by Lowenheim.

Dear Sir,

I have recently read your letter regarding information on plating Bismuth. We have developed an aqueous solution which will deposit Bismuth onto a magnesium base metal. This is a selective, electrolytic process that has so far shown good results. For more information please contact us at your convenience.
