Regal Drama

Daceman · 05-29-2007, 10:40 PM

I have a gorgeous regal that's nice and fat but he only eats ZOAS. And I'm running out off zoas. The zoos he's eating are a bunch that i had growing on my overflo which i had been trying to get rid of for the longest. but i refuse to buy zoas just to feed him. I've been feeding him just about everything but he just prefers zoos.

Drama.....

Mine's is not red sea but he is a picky eater also he eats every other day... And when I feed him he will take formula1 pellets I guess just because he is hungry....Other wise he only goes for mysis...every other day..

Will he eat brown button polyps? I have a few rocks you can have.

Ignore the coralline

Will he starve if your don't feed your tank for 2 days?? If not go for it then feed what you would like him to eat... That's how I have always done Regals..11years now...been through 3..

When a fish eats only XXX, that just means it is not hungry enough. Starve him for a week, then he will hop out of the water to eat some flakes.
