I currently have two regals in my tank. One is yellow belly and other one is grey belly. I had few more regals in the past. I never had issue with them eating. I think if the specimen is healthy, they are not difficult to get it to eat. I QT them alone and they usually accept frozen mysis within 7 to 14 days. Some will eat aggressive than others. My current yellow belly took 10 days to eat mysis shrimp. He would not eat more than 1 or 2 pieces at a time so I had to feed him multiple times per day. Now he eats like pig and I only feed dry food in my display (pellets and flakes). My grey belly is slightly larger than yellow belly (about 5 inches). It took him about 10 days to eat as well. But he was eating much more aggressively than my yellow belly.
