View Full Version : Regal Idiot

I'm on my third Red Sea Regal Angel and I'm the kind of idiot who ignores his mistakes rather than learns from them. Everytime I get a Regal Angel, my Purple Tang gets very territorial when food goes in the tank. So this time I bought a bigger Angel hoping it could stand it's ground a bit better. Although things are going a bit smoother this time, the Angel isn't eating much. Is there a food the Angel will find irrestistable despite getting somewhat pushed away from food? No matter how loud I yell at the Purple Tang, he's never seemed to listen.

If you have some kind of quarantine tank, you can put him in there for a few weeks and experiment with different foods. They tend to take to foods better when there's less competitions.
Also Spectrum flakes are supposed to be a "miracle food" with some Regals.

Garlic Extreme...the fish can not resist it. I feed my tangs mysis shrimp soaked in the garlic. Gets the most finicky eaters eating. I only feed the garlic soaked three times a week, costs 38.00 a "tube".

I use garlic guard. It's water based so it doesn't leave a film on the water.
Also tape a mirror on your tank somewhere so the Tang goes after that instead of the angel.
