Does anyone know where they come from? Size? Feeding? Temperature? Salinity? Can I keep it with Nemo? Dory? Will it eat my corals and anemones? How bout shrimp? Will it eat shrimp? How come Letterman's Top Ten isn't very funny anymore?

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm kidding. It's about 2" and just starting to phase into the adult colors. Trying to get shots but the bugger is ultra shy and hides in his flowerpot all day. Hoping to move him to my display soon.

Anyone here have luck with juv Regal Angels? I'm debating it but they're renowned for being touchy. I've read a lot on RC about their maintanence though and the concensus seems to hinge on acquiring juv's and proper nutrition.

What do you guys think?

I think they're more cryptic, or ambiguous. :mrgreen:

The thread Kyle refers to is one in which he details his methods for getting stubborn fish to take food by force-feeding them. While it made some squeamish, his argument was that it was better to take "drastic" measures to save a fish, than to watch it starve and die. Seeing as he has more experience from the business end, it wasn't unusual for him to handle his livestock, I guess.

Maybe you can relate... :biggrin:

I can. Force feeding fish? Sounds like fun. Reminds me of the time I had to save my chameleon from starvation. Thing just gave up food for three weeks and got super skinny.

Wowowowowo, rustling in the ranks of CanReef.

That was an interesting thread. Thankfully, I didn't have to force feed my fish.
