I'm trying all over the online vendors for a red sea regal of around 2-2.5 inches. You guys know where I might find one in good condition?
Thanks |

There are two varieties commonly offered in the trade, easily distinguished by coloration. Those from the Indo-Pacific have a grayish-blue throat and belly, while those from the Red-Sea/Indian Ocean have a bright yellow, sometime orange throat and belly. It is thought by many that Red Sea/Indian Ocean Regals are much hardier than Indo-Pacific Regals. Having said that, I have an Indo-Pacific and it is doing very well and eats like a champ - perhaps and exception to the rule.

I don't mean to be rude or presumptuous, but I see a few people in here that have implied that they may try to keep a regal angel and only have limited experience with the hobby. This is just my opinion, but these fish are not easy to keep and it would be wise, both for the welfare of the fish and your wallet to purchase and care for something easier till you have more experience and can devote your time and energy to the fish. Many a regal angel, moorish idol, two spot goby etc. has perished at the hands of a relatively inexperienced keeper, and advaced alike, however the chances of success with more experience is much higher. Please take this into consideration.
Mattt: I was just about to order some thursday night but decided to "sleep on it"...whoops, they're all gone by friday afternoon . |

Excellent point. This thread is deceiving in that it gives many inexperienced fishkeepers false hope that regals are easy. Everyone posts about their new regals but majority do not post when it has died. People that post regularly are the lucky few(incl me) that has a rare freak healthy regal. This is purely selection bias. When some people dont even bother doing basic internet and book research and asking basic questions that has been addressed a thousand times in the thread, I cringe at the thought of another regal dying a slow death in the hands of a unprepared, inexperienced fishkeeper. |

Since reading this thread prior to my purchase, it was decided that the Regal would be acclimated straight into the tank (120g) versus quarantined. Regal did not eat for 2+ week, then started munching on zoanthids, then started to take prepared foods around the 3rd week. |

Got one! I was able to find an eating Regal at a local shop. I'm very happy with it... Now if I can catch the very large damsel that is harrassing it. I have had to keep the lights off for the past 12 hours in the hopes that the Regal gets acclimated and will "fight back".
Otherwise I may have to tear down my tank to get at the damsel. -Alfred |

Bad news. Found my regal (pacific-grey breasted) dead this morning after having it a month. It was eating mysid, nori, hikari angel feed, and cyclopeeze in my tank and had been eating mysid shrimp in the LFS for probably 4-6 weeks before I bought it. It was well fleshed out, and was active about the tank. I'm really at a loss to figure out how it died.

Alfred I got two words for you "spear fish".
Billy sorry to hear that. I've had that happen to me before as well. Part of the "mystery" of the Regal. Better luck next time

Kalare,
No, liveaquaria.com send me an e-mail saying that it is out of stock. That is funny, because I ordered it on Friday morning before the nine o'clock deadline to have it ship Saturday. I even call them twice to make sure, and was told that the regals are in the package. I notice that the available list was gone by Friday afternoon. Well better luck next time. mattt. |

Just a quick ?, had my regal for 2 weeks was eating everything including my zoo's. But then i went away sat came back didn't see him, thought I would go to bed and look in the morning, and came to find he was not there. So it's been 2 days and still no sign. Are these fish jumpers or what could of happened to him on sat. I have looked everyewhere. It was also around 5 inches. You would think i would see bones or some kind of body right? Any ideas?
