My New Regal

[jhale]

Frank you have the regal in a 180 right?

do you think a 5' long 120 is too small for them?

 

[NYPDFrogman]

he's in the 180
I think it would be fine in your tank
they like rock work need hiding places

I just stopped by the store. Lots of fish not much coral. Some tanks are better than the others. Got to say their majestic angels look goooood. The regals that are left in there don't look as good as your. Good luck with it. My regal has been in my 400g reef for almost 6 months. Still only eat clams.

mine was just picking at Nori on the clip, I have some red leafy macro algae growing here and there and he's eaten some of that. my Asfur is giving him a hard way so he's in and out I'm going to feed the tank some plankton and some myiss shrimp so we'll see how he does.

Sumatra is the northern island of Indonesia, it is still consider Indo. I thought all Indo variety have the gray chest, yellow are from Red Sea?

I might be mistaken but I think he said he's from the Indian ocean side,
my guy has a yellow chest

I agree, everything from East Aceh down to the tip of Bakauheni would be considered Sumatran. But everything from the isle of Pulau Simeulue to Bakauheni would be Indian. The regals from the Mentawai Islands are well known for their yellow chests, thus making him an Indian regal.



fun with maps :lol:

Hey Rich, is this the same place I went to look at Deltecs?

Jonathan, Where did you read the info on the Indian Angel having the yellow chests? please point me there.

 

[jackson6745]

Pierce that was aquarium solutions, owner Pat. He is out of business. This new place is only a few blocks away....I thought the same thing at first.
