2 in the 120?
kwl1763,
So MarineCenter.com is the place. What foods have worked for you? I plan on adding angelfish to my 375 gallon tank, and the Regal is going to be the first one. I want this fish to not worry about territorial disputes with other fishes.
I believe part of the battle with this fish is getting a good solid fish from a good reputable vendor. This is why I asked you this question.
thanks
Kirk

My yellow belly stopped eating about 3 days ago and found him dead this morning.
Sucks...sorry to hear that. You giving it another go?
May I ask what other fish you have in that system?

Sad to hear bro. How long have you had the yellow belly? What do you blame the "all of the sudden " lack of appetite on?

Thanks.
I got him in mid July. I got the Scopas out that would bother him when he was eating clam on the half shell. It was just enough that the scopas would hover over him and just the lightest touch from the scopas bottom fin would make him stop eating, so I removed him. I also have another small grey belly Regal, that eats like a pig. A big Hippo which didn't bother him, Lamark, some cromis and some wrasses.
Yeah I'll add another. But I may not look for a yellow belly. I may just get another grey belly to match the small guy I have. There's a place in NY that has like 8 of them now and claims that they're in excellent shape and ALL are eating like pigs.
The place is called NYAquatic.

I got my regal from NYAquatic about a year ago and it's still doing pretty good. I have actually purchased a few fish from NYAquatic and they are very reasonable to deal with.

Ronster, did you get a yellow belly or grey belly from him?
From what Mike is telling me from NYAquatic, is that the grey belly ones eat for him sooner and do better then the yellow bellies.
Totally opposite of everything I've been reding.
Although I did find a place the has juvies for 30 a piece.

We'll after losing our first regal to no eating now the one that we got in March died a horrible death due to vibrio
He ate everything from day 1 and i was trying to save him the most. But in 6 days it wiped my entire tank out.
Nasty bacteria that we linked to the new package of brine shrimp i bought 2 days before...
So it was a sad sad day in out house when the regal went.
Hopefully when this tank sits for a couple months empty we will try again. I trully miss him.
