Wow that's fast.

..., bad news. He passed last night. He was swimming erratically the last day or so. Quite bummed. Thanks for the help anyway.
I think the growth rate depends on the tank size with these fish. How much and how often you feed likely has an impact too.
This is a species that is very successful and adaptable in the wild, so I would expect them also adapt as much as possible to an aquarium setting, even if it's just in size.

I think it depends a lot on the tank you put it in. I have one gray in my sump tank who only comes to the front for food. Another one in my 40B is coming out more, and the one I have in .y 42 CADlight tank is out all the time.Throewer, quick question,
Do you think indo pacific regals are more reclusive than the yellow belly variants? Just asking because an LFS is giving me a great deal to get rid of a regal that they've had for 4 months. 75$ for a ~4" regal. Grey belly..

My point precisely - large tank and enough food = rapid growth.One of 10 fish currently in my 625g, I feed 3-5 times a day heavily. Always have nori in the tank too
I'm sorry to hear that.
Which region was that fish from and which vendor did you get it from?

Now that my regal didnt make it. Im gonna wait for the right opportunity for another regal (maybe a pair). Maybe a few months or longer.
However, at that point, my 225 tank will have a yellow, purple, achilles, whitetail, and blonde tangs.
What would be the best way to introduce a regal (or two) with all these tangs in the tank?
Or should I just scratch the idea of regals if i have these tangs?

One tang is already one too much in any tank below 500 gallon IMO.

This is too many tangs. You should just scratch the Regal. I would remove the Blonde and the Achilles.Now that my regal didnt make it. Im gonna wait for the right opportunity for another regal (maybe a pair). Maybe a few months or longer.

I know that you like smaller fishes, keep in breeding units like myself. However, I disagree with your aversion to tangs.+1
