First, WAY too many fish. The sailfin get's at leats 1.5 feet long, and the trigger gets at least a foot. The bicolor is going to be aggressive to any new angels, the sailfin as well and the trigger as well. Get that regal out to someone with a PEACEFUL tank.
Second, ammonia and nitrite and preferably nitrate should all be zero, not low, zero. Nitrate is tolerable to some fish, but I wouldn't bet that it's a good thing when trying to keep a regal.
Not to be rude, but as I stated earlier in this thread, I think people should research more before buying this fish, as more than 90 percent of them still die. This thread, as another has stated, gives people a false sense of how easy to take care of the regal angel is. So many success stories, so few failures (in comparison to all regals sold). I firmly believe that you should have more experience before trying a fish of this degree of difficulty.
I hope nobody takes offense to this, however I think it needed to be said. I see so many people in this thread that just ask questions like: what do i feed it, what needs to be done, etc...when there is a 40 page thread dedicated to the fish. If you're thinking about keeping this animal, is it too much to ask to actually research and read the whole thread? If you're not dedicated enough to do that, I don't think regals are your fish.
you can go to my photo gallery to see it.
