But I have never heard anyone say that a 48" long tank (24" wide) is better than a 60" long tank (18.5" wide) where fish are concerned. |

A lot of active swimmers require long tanks. 6 foot for this tang and 10 foot for that tang...
However I completely agree with ThRoewer regarding dimention of reef tank with Aquascape and coral in mind.

Regal Angels we not active swimmers. They are only out in the open water only a small a out of the time. Certainly you will never see them do a mad dash along the length of the tank like some tangs. Good rock structure is important for Regal Angels

Even with freshwater tanks deeper tanks allow for better aquascapes - just check out Takashi Amano's aquascapes. BTW, long term, corals need more space than fish as they are immobile and rely on light.

We weren't talking about aquascapes - we were talking about a Regal Angel and if it would fare better in a 60" long (18.5 wide) tank or a 48" long (24" wide) tank. |

A store here has frequently regal angels from the Philippines (Pacific sub-species) and Sumatra (Indian Ocean sub-species). Right now they have a few nice Sumatra yellow belly regal from 4 to 6 inch for $100 to $150. All eating well for weeks now. Especially the largest one always looks at me as if he wants to say "take me home" - so far I could resist (I would need a bigger tank for him anyway) but it is an impressive fish and tempting (and I have already 6 regal angels!).

If you request, and did not buy. They cannot sale it, they would be reluctant to order another again.

Looking at the DD regal, I feel pretty confident it will be a misbar also?

Thanks I had one for a few years that I lost to a velvet out break. Of all the fish that I lost that one stung the most. I finally tried another one several months ago but it was closer to 5 inches. It was eating but not aggressively as I would have liked and I lost it after a few months. Been holding out for a smaller one. A misbar yellow belly at this size seemed to be too good to pass upespecially with a coupon on top of it. Luckily my qt is just getting freed up.

The regal came in from divers den today looking in very good shape. Acclimated it quickly and put it in my qt. Gave it a little frozen 30 minutes later and it ate right away.
