How did you pair the two. I tried to pair but one essentially kill the other. I really need to have some way to keep them apart if it does not work out.

alton · 01/13/2015, 07:21 AM

They are not paired, the larger one just tolerates the smaller one now. They have been together almost two years, the smaller was a juvy when I added her. I am still hoping, my Flames took only a few months to pair

OrionN · 01/13/2015, 07:42 AM

IMO, if they tolerate each other they will pair when mature. I had a Marine Beta that tolerate each other then eventually pair and spawned. It took them years. They were babies when I started. Prior to this I had two small ones that rip each other to bits and have to be separated. It too me 6 months to get one healed and fins grown back to the point where I can send him bact to the LFS

Even for fish sourced locally, if you QT, just match tank salinity to that in the bag and no drip or water mixing is required. Very easy on the fish. You can the bring salinity up to normal levels over the course of a few weeks.

They are known to send out crappy livestock. This was what I got from them, when the WYSIWYG showed a healthy specimen.

I just picked up a Red Sea Regal for $79 at LFS. It's picking a little neck clams and mussels after a couple of days of not eating. Now I need to make the transition to eating food in the column. Not sure how that's gonna work.

Keep on feeding him what ever he will eat until he get fatter. Then he will eat everything

79. Did they call the police on you. You stole that fish

Blueline12 · 01/15/2015, 07:49 PM

Thanks. Will do.

I know. The price was ridiculous. I couldn't pass it up.

That's awesome, the cheapest regal i've seems at my LFS was $199. I've been wanting one for years but never wanted to spend that much on such a delicate fish.

I am glad that you got one that is in great shape. Once they start to eat, they are hardy. After all these months my Regal angel is still somewhat shy and often go to the back of the tank when I approach, unless I just dump food into the tank.

OrionN · 01/24/2015, 03:15 PM

Here is mine today using a phone to take this picture

I agree- I won't order from them anymore

OrionN · 01/24/2015, 05:04 PM

They did replaced a better Regal Angel for him.

OrionN · 01/24/2015, 05:07 PM

Is it true that Red Sea Regal angel is more yellow with yellow chest, while Regal angel else where is more orange yellow with greyish blue chest?

las · 01/24/2015, 05:09 PM

My Red Sea is more orange and even other colors look better than other yellow bellies.

horseplay · 02/07/2015, 08:41 PM

Just picked one up. Joining the club and hopefully stay in the club. There are two in the store I picked the one that's a little more active and swim in front. After a brief acclimation (I matched salinity) he is in a 40 breeder now. First day of QT. He is already picking at the live rock and swim about. Not shy at all. Actually swimming to the front when I get close to the tank. But not eating. I will start trying various food tomorrow.

So what should I do now medication-wise. Do I need to do anything at all if there is no sign of disease? I have prazi but I usually don't treat new fish.

Here a pic of him with the light off.

Going on a year now, one of my favorites for sure.

I posted this elsewhere, but posting here to target regal angel owners.

I've had a Regal for about 6 months. He's quite mature, I'd say 6-7".

Does great, eats really well.

My problem is he's aggressive to newly added fish, I didn't really realize how bad it was until I added a Multibar this week.

Now I'm paying attention, he is aggressive towards the butterfly I added in November, but the butterfly just shrugs it off.

What does everyone think to removing the Regal, placing him in the QT for a week or 2, and then putting him back in the DT.

Will he respond like a newly added fish and will it squash his aggression to the butterfly and multibar?

Don't want to remove him and do all this, and it have no effect, so asking for your advice here.
