My new regal angel!

That's certainly great news that it's eating. Seems to be the big issue with the Regal, in particular. Beautiful fish!
 
Awome pics! I like how you can still see his juvi eye spot a little. I'm on my way to the LFS shortly to see if mine came in yet. Wish me luck.
 
I just got back from the LFS & they had my baby regal. It ate mysis like a pig in their tank. It's acclimating as I type. The best part was it was only $50.00.
Here's a pic of the little guy.

Wow, that is great and the price was excellent!!! I looked for years at many LFS and never stumbled across anything as nice as you have!! Good luck!!
 
I've been dealing with my LFS for almost 20 years now. I special ordered the juvi regal from them. I was originally quoted $40.00 for it. The owner was very apologetic that it was more than he thought it would be @ $50.00. I would of paid way more than that for this fish. It's only about 2" at the most.
 
Do they have more?

Not only would I gladly pay $50 for one that is eating, I'd drive to Michigan from central Ohio to get it. :)



Both beautiful regals, please keep us posted.
 
Sorry!! They only had the one I special ordered. Thanks. Looking forward to watching it change to an adult for many years to come.
 
Very beautiful looking Regal's, I hope they all last very long. I guess you are both over the big battle of getting them to eat at least!

Here is mine, I have had him for a few weeks. I got him from my LFS and took a chance on him, he was not eating and was competing with about 20 other fish at the LFS and so they made me a offer and said if I take him now would sell for $50. I got him home and he started eating everything I would feed. He is still in QT and doing great.

Nice fish guys. Getting to eat aggressivly is a big part i agree. Mine eats from my hands now. He will rip nori right out of my fingers. Mines on the large side but not huge. 4-5 inches.
 
BTW i have seen both yellow and grey bellys in person and i dont think the colors are bolder, Just that one has a yellow belly and one has a greyish blue belly. Also noticed that the grey belly ones have been coming in better so i hope this continues!! I would like a small female.
 
Any updates?

Hows everyones Regals doing??

Mine is still doing great. It's not shy at all & continues to eat like a pig. The only complaint I have is it won't eat pellets yet. It took my bluespot at least 6 months before it started eating pellets so I guess I shouldn't worry. I'll get some more pics on Christmas day when my nephew comes over with his DLSR.
