Fish Frenzy.

I like using the Reef and Herbivore Frenzy. I also feed fertility frenzy, but they are not as keen on it

Chefzilla chow down is the preferred food here

I had live rock with actual sponges in the 10g (forgot to mention that in my initial post). He didnt touch that either. The 20g only has pvc pipes.

What happened?

Is he eating?

Can anyone post a picture of a male and female regal angel? The term short and long is relative and I don't know what is consider long or short. The pictures posted in the very early of the thread has been removed. I'm looking to get a pair of angelfish and want to do the best to pick the correct gender.

 

[this is me]

Okay, I started to look at picture of pairs regal angelfish and especially from the wild.
Is this consider a good female vs. male?

Good news, bad news. He was finally picking on oyster (or mussel). I dropped both and it was tough to see since i was watching from far away.

Unfortunately, today he hasnt looked good at all. He's normally swimming all the time but today, he's constantly in one corner of the aquarium.

Im gonna drop mussels and squid later tonight.

Males have massive Gill thorns and a more elongated body shape. Though this works only for specimen above 5in

Hmm... gotta get him to eat...

Have you put any vitamins into the water - such as VitaChem or anything to help keep up his health?

I have my 2" from LA and it's doing very well and FAT like how a angel should be. How much should I expect it to grow in year one? Also it has a broken bar on both sides towards the tail. Is it going to be a misbar?

 

[ThRoewer]

A lot of the misbaring on young regal angels may go away as they mature.
One of my Philippine regals had a upside-down "Y" bar on each side, but by now one of the arms of the "Y" starts "dissolving" - and this is happening on both sides.

IME, regals are slow growers. Ours has grown ~1" in nearly 2 years (compared to our moorish idol who doubled in size in about 9 months).

Yep - I also soak food with either selcon, zoecon, and vitachem. When I feed, they're normally added.

Anyway, bad news. He passed last night. He was swimming erratically the last day or so. Quite bummed. Thanks for the help anyway.

That's usually the case. We don't hear about many 6"+ regal's in captivity.

This might be the case if the fish is already big like 4" plus. How big is yours?

 

[droth335]

Ours is 4.5 -5" now.

My grey belly as easily grown 3/4-1" since February. It was about 3.5" when it was purchased
