Trying to decide if this is a Red Sea one or not. I know the whole deal with the yellow chest vs. grey chest, but the fact that this is a juvi is throwing me for a loop. What do you all think? I say other...

I'd say "other." Is this fish yours? I've been looking for a juvenile regal angel.

Not mine. Just trying to ID for a friend. The wholesaler he got it from claimed it to be a Red Sea Regal, but I didn't think so. Thought I'd check for more opinions on here :)

absolutely other.

but i will say that ive had a pacfic/io regal for over three years and i bought her as a juvenile (about 2.5"-3") like that one . she still had the eyelet on her rear. the main thing was she was eating wholeheartedly at the store. i didnt qt her and i placed a sump rock (with lots of sponge) in the display and replaced it every week for the first year. i made sure i fed angel formula along with cyclopeez soaked in garlic and vitamins and still do

Other.
Ive seen quite a few Indo Regals coming lately that are doing really well though- much better than they have a reputation for. Our shop has received about a dozen of them in the last couple weeks, and AFAIK all but 1 ate prepared foods within a day or two of arrival, and not a single one was lost in shipping. Im impressed with the ones coming in lately.

Mine is about 3-4 inch's long, I have had it for 8 weeks now and is eating everything that I feed the other fish.

My shop just got a small 1.5" juvi indo Regal. It ate pellets in the tank so I bought it. Not bad for $25 with tax. Cheaper than a Coral Beauty. Hope its true that the juvi ones would adapt better.
