Regal Angel Primer
- Thread starter DJPB
- Start date
Thanks for all of your tips - I hadn't heard of the temperature increase idea. But alas she was gone as of yesterday. So two weeks survival. Even tho she had been eating most of that time she had still lost a lot of weight. Pretty humbling. Wonder how a nice damsel fish would look in my tank.

Regals like plenty of live rock to pick at and hide in!

I have never used a quarantine tank and all my tank's inhabitants are happy and healthy. My tank is fairly mature approaching four years which allows for alot of growth on the live rock for the fish to pick at and hide in.

Fine outstanding young Regal
Fine outstanding young Regal
It looks like a twin of my Regal although mine is a gray belly from the Indo Pacific although I do not think it matters. I take each of my fish as the individuals they are!
From the picture it looks like 3 1/2 inches and the color of the belly is not quite discernable.
Overall it looks like a fish with character!
My picture from three months ago with the very beginning stage of LLHE disease, a slow disease to come and a slow disease to cure. This is why I dose my tank every day with Kent Marine-C and my food as well along with Selcon.
After a heavy feeding, he is now hiding or showing his tail end out from one of his many caves and tunnels along with his shipmate, Mr. Majestic angel.
His white around the face is starting to darken up to the color of skin it should be.

Good sign!
Good sign!
It is a good sign for them to come out and pick around the rocks and go for a swim around the aquarium. Mine does so fairly often and does not hide excessively except when I approach the tank with a camera!:lolspin:

More Regal Pictures
More Regal Pictures
Three months after starting dosing the tank and food with Kent Marine-C in addition to soaking food in Selcon.
I have to say taking pictures of my Regal is like taking pictures in the rare tropical birds in the Amazon. He just does not like to see the camera.

Regal comes out for food every time!
Regal comes out for food every time!
My Regal Angel comes out for food all the time, camera or no camera!
I hope these photos give a better look as I just took them at feeding time.
The first is with a two of his friends, a Majestic Angel and female Cinnamon clown at feeding time.
The skin around his eyes is starting to turn back to the gray of surrounding healthy skin after three months of dosing the tank and food with Kent Marine-C and Selcon.
He and the Majestic both hide in the rocks at night because they are still small enough at 3 1/2" to go in and out of most of the five feet of live rock although the 4 1/2" Powder Blue Tang and 4" Purple Tang also go into the rocks. I got the tangs and angels when they were quite young as I have had both tangs for over two years and the Majestic Angel over a year and the Regal Angel for over a year and a half.

I have not gotten a sex back, but I am told it is determined by gill spine length.
Regal #2, Day #2
Put small amounts of red, green and brown nori, rods food, a mix of ocean nutrition flake and some mysis in. He definitely reacted to the flake and the frozen. In fact he took several bites, I seen him spit most of it out, but this is still a super positive sign on day two. He also started pecking at the glass as soon as the food was in the water. Here is a video of him pecking at the food.

I've had him for about 2 months. Before he would ONLY eat mysis and clams but he finally decided he likes pellets.
