It is highly recognized for its striking and vibrant coloration, making it a popular choice for aquarium enthusiasts. Here's some information about the Regal Angelfish:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance\u003c\/strong\u003e: The Regal Angelfish has a deep, laterally compressed body with a round profile. Its body is primarily dark blue to purple, with vivid vertical yellow stripes running across its body. It has bright yellow caudal (tail) and dorsal fins, and the anal and pectoral fins are dark blue to black.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: The Regal Angelfish can grow up to 9 inches (22 cm) in length, although the average size is usually around 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) in captivity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHabitat\u003c\/strong\u003e: It is native to the Indo-Pacific region, including the Red Sea, the Maldives, Indonesia, and Australia. It typically inhabits coral reefs and lagoons, preferring areas with ample hiding spots and caves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBehavior\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regal Angelfish are known to be somewhat territorial and may display aggression towards other angelfish and similar species. They are generally not suitable for reef aquariums with delicate corals, as they may nip at them. However, they can be kept in a peaceful community tank with other compatible fish species.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiet\u003c\/strong\u003e: In the wild, Regal Angelfish primarily feed on sponges, tunicates, and other small invertebrates. In captivity, they can be fed a varied diet that includes high-quality marine pellets, frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and chopped seafood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAquarium Care\u003c\/strong\u003e: Due to their size and activity level, Regal Angelfish require a spacious aquarium of at least 75 gallons (280 liters). The tank should have plenty of hiding places, such as live rock formations, to provide security. It is important to maintain stable water parameters and good water quality for their well-being.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBreeding\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regal Angelfish are known to be difficult to breed in captivity, and successful captive breeding is relatively rare. They are classified as pelagic spawners, releasing eggs and sperm into the water column. The eggs then float freely until hatching.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare level\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExpert \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSemi-aggressive\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet\u003c\/strong\u003e: Omnivore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef Compatible\u003c\/strong\u003e: With Caution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFamily\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pomacanthidae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Tank Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 125 gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eS\u003c\/span\u003eize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small 2-3\", Medium 3-4\", Large: 5-6\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Saltwater Pros Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":47562449813744,"sku":"","price":199.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":47562449846512,"sku":"","price":249.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Large","offer_id":47562449879280,"sku":"","price":399.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/7482\/5712\/files\/RegalAngelfishYellowBelly_703f03a5-9ce0-4bc2-a7f0-d1a6452c4009.png?v=1703830508","url":"https:\/\/www.saltwaterprosreef.ca\/products\/regal-angelfish-medium-1","provider":"Saltwater Pros Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
