Regal Angel

[Marineman]

Can someone tell and show me a picture to identify the difference between an Indonesian Regal and a Red Sea Regal ?

Thanks in advance.

Redsea regal or yellow belly regal from meidan has belly or stomach which are orangy yellow in colour... Colour for this group of regal is also more intense..

White belly regal usually from philippine as their name mentioned got white or greyish stomach... colour is not that intense

of course yellow belly species are more expensive with red sea the most(ard$60), den meidan(ard $35) and den white belly regal the least expensive(ard $25)

Thanks, if someone can post some pictures, then it would be much clearer. I saw your beautiful red sea regal and now that I have started a 300 gal fowlr, I am interested to buy this fish but have to wait for about 6 moths for the tank to mature first before I introduce angels.

I'm also tempted by DA's pictures. But worried that it'll nip my corals and clams.

Marineman, buy good quality LRs. It'll help to shortcut your cycling time a great deal. Of course, slow stocking is advised.

heh if it starts nipping on your zoos, can I be in line to buy a frag of your pink ones? If you can sell me even one polyp, I'd be grateful already.

Thanks bro. Let's not disturb this thread any further. I'll reply you in your tank thread ... probably tomorrow when I can take a photo of the zoos I have ... mine is the big, green type ... maybe you'd be interested to trade.
