Regal Angel Feeding

[nosferatu51]

I just received a Regal Angel from you today who is doing well from what I can tell. He's swimming around, being playful, etc... I wish I could say the same for the Achilles
The one thing is that he has not shown any interest in either the Nori or the open clam I put out for him. Since it has not even been a day, I am not really worried, but I would like to get him eating as soon as possible. To this accord, what do you guys feed the Regals in your facility? I figure if I provide him with what he is used to he will be more likely to accept it and then eventually move on.

Thanks in advance.

Nosferatu51,

Thank you for your post. Our Regal Angelfish are fed frozen Mysis Shrimp and Sea Veggies at our California facility. However, when enticing your Angel to eat, we recommend a diet of fresh shrimp and chopped seafood. The diet should also include herbivore preparations that include Spirulina and marine algae, and angelfish preparations containing sponges.

If we may be of any further assistance, please feel free to call us at 1-800-334-3699.
