Regal angelfish (pygoplites diacanthus) discussion

Post by flynix »

just got this tiny regal angel and it's settling in great, feeding well and all that. been in the tank for a day and it's already out and about a lot, which is pretty cool. what's even weirder is all my other fish are now swimming together, it's like they're one big happy family or something. i used to never see my 6line, but now it's out all the time, and my midas doesn't freak out and hide whenever i walk by the tank. definitely gonna try and get some pics for you guys, regal angels are still my absolute favourite marine fish.

Looks great, love the new addition. Where did you manage to pick up the regal angel, mate? I'm having a tough time finding any decent shops around Bristol, might have to make a trip to Taunton or Weston to see what they've got.

Sanders is actually just outside of burnham on sea, so roughly 6-7 miles from weston, pretty handy for me anyway.

I think it's a lot more exciting than the clown idea, definitely a lot more adventurous, and I'm loving it.
