So I finally acquired a Regal. I have been wanting this fish for some time and finally it the bullet and ordered one. I was at work so my wife was home to accept delivery(btw UPS sucks, never knocked on door, just had the package sitting in the driveway. Wife was curious why it wasn't here at 11:30 so she tracked it and it says delivered at 9:30)

Anyways, to add insult to injury, the water he was in was 1.015. After talking to the owner of the store, he thinks his helper put him in the hypo water, don't understand why he wouldn't just be shipped in his own water. I ran out and bought a 20h tank for him and made new water up with his SG. All our other qt's are in use.

Wish me luck! I gave him a 30 min methylene blue bath and will observe from here on out. I did notice he swims not sideways but on a small tilt to his side. Not all the time but a little here and there. Is this any thing I should worry about?

Thanks!
