Considering another Gold Flake or instead a Yellow belly Regal angel.

[aldiver311]

Talked to Ron Tubbs and was assured my Gold Flake not eating was not the norm. I have a 165 gallon cube Vat set up for QT. I had an Orange Tail Emp. in there for QT. So I can keep it set up and use that. Or can get a really nice Yellow Belly Regal angel. Not sure which one to go with. My plan is to have them all together in the display. I've been told that the yellow belly probably will not do well with the Emp. Any thoughts on this? The display will have a 6-7 inch Blue line, 10 inch Orange Tail Emp., 5 inch Grey Poma, 5 inch Rock Beauty and , and 6 inch Queen. All angels other than the Blue line and Emperor have been in the tank for 2 years at least some longer.

I'm not sure I agree with that statement considering how large your specimen was, but anyway.

If you get another, go smaller.

Besides that, you have some really large and in charge angels. Hope you have a BIG tank.

I have seen on multiple occasions, queens and emperors kill regals. I don't think it's a good idea from what I have seen but someone might have had success before

That is what I've been told too that the Emperor will not tolerate the regal. Ron could be telling me that just to sell them not sure. Kind of scared to get a smaller GL but then there is that chance it does fine for a year and suddenly dies. Anyway I think my mind is set on another GL maybe going to try a 4-5 inch one.

I've had several Goldflakes over the years and a couple of Regals. At the moment I have both. The Regals are quite shy. The one I have now is seldom out in the open and stays close to the rock work.

The Goldflakes are much more active and open water fish.

Goldflake I have had since Feb 2012, the Yellow belly regal I added in Nov or Dec of 2012.
