yellow belly regals sadly do not come in at 1-2 inches.

all juveniles you see here are grey bellies. but juvenile regals are yellow so they are often mistaken for yellow bellied ones.

Tks for the insight! What's the smallest size that the yellow bellies usually come in at?

What is the size for F & M?

Females are 3-4 inches

Males are usually 4-5 inches

I dont suggest buying males though. Based on personal experience and that of many other reefers in the U.S, males do not hold their colour even if paired with females. This is the problem with most Genicanthus angels. Watanabe Angels also sometimes pose this problem.

Even with females, the males revert back to female form. This is not always the case, but there's a very high chance of this happening. No one is really sure why, but it could be that artificial pairing just cannot provide the social interaction needed between them. This is just a speculation.

Starting with 2-3 females and waiting for one to naturally morph into a male is a better idea, and that way, the male will not change back because the social interaction between the harem is strong and the fishes themselves create the pecking order from the get go.

But of course, you can try getting a male if you see one. No harm trying and since this species is so hard to find, wether male or female, just jump on the chance if you really like it

there are no emperor angels documented from hawaii islands.

this is a common misconception that i hope i can debunk today.

our hawaii shipment contains fishes from marshall island, mainland hawaii and christmas islands. but the collection and distribution facililty is in hawaii, so everyone thinks the fishes that come from "hawaii" shipment, come from hawaii.

flame angels, rhomboid fairy wrasses, helfrichi etc are all caught from marshall islands.

the only real fishes coming in from hawaii are potters angel, lemonpeel, fisheri angels and a few others.

the orange tail emperors from "hawaii" shipments come from christmas islands.

and as for orange tail emperor angels, they exists in every location in which emperor angels are found in. indonesia, philippines, red sea, christmas islands etc etc.

the orange tail is just a slight variation to the normal yellow tail one. and being a variant, they can be found in all oceans. just that some areas have a higher population of these said orange tails. like christmas island.

and as for the dorsal fin streamer, only pacific ocean emperors have the streamers. indian ocean emperor angels do not have the streamers.

i hope this helps.
