Mine is eating anything I throw at him now. Still have him in the little 30g reef and not the big tank though. Scared to screw up a good thing right now.

Mine is really only eating pellets and romaine, every now and then will take a piece of mysis or brine.

What do you guys think regarding small Regal Juvi, listed size of 1.5-2 inches. Is this too small?

Well since there are no new post I am guessing RC members are filled up with Regal Angels?

Nope - not I. Still on my list to buy. Just waiting for my upgrade to finish and the tank a little bit more established before I add any fish. Only fish that will be introduced are those that are currently in my 40 breeder and subject to move Coral beauty, mated pair of clowns, pair of pajama cardinals, and a lawnmower blenny. My guess is they won't know what to do with all of the space in the new 210 they are soon to move into
So I've just been reading on all the action with regards to you all's Regals so I can properly acclimate and care.

I need a few weeks then I am in the market for 2 or 3 Regal. Just a few weeks more. Put salt water in my tank yesterday. Right now my HT and QT system are holding fish for the new system.

Hey all. Placed another order on LA for a Juvi medium maldives regal. (Sat delivery) the Juvi small LA order I placed weeks ago never shipped out and I had to cancel.
I've tried regals before (not from LA) with very poor success acclimating. This time I plan to put the fish into the display, perhaps in a partitioned section if fish are intimidating him. Any advice on the acclimation technique? Drip acclimate and then freshwater bath? Prazi dips? Curious what everyone recommends for the order of operations (e.g., drip tank water into ship water, then prazi and or freshwater baths in a certain order? bath timing?) . I've read various methods. I want to do the best procedure for a fish going right into a display reef, not a seperate QT system. And do it with minimal stress while attempting to remove any flukes or pests that may tag along on the fish. Thanks everyone. Will keep you posted. |

My first question is what other fish do you have in your display that you do not mind losing? And or are they all docile so not to mess with the Regal's eating? As far as dips and baths here is mine whether it is right or wrong but for me it works.
Acclimation (30 min), FW Bath (10 to 20 min), Prazi for 1 hour, and then into QT unless it is a small juvenile and there is nothing in the display tank except my BSJF. And here comes another right or wrong, I believe small juvenile ship 10 x better than an adult plus it does better in holding so it is less likely to contract a disease. As an example your fish will come in almost a gallon of water, where as an adult ten times the size will not come in 10 x the volume of water. Good luck on your getting your regal. The Maldives are not bullet proof, but pretty close. Here is my BF in a 100 gallon QT tub |

Believe me I know it really well. I only ordered two but somehow Liveaquaria messed up and sent me four Regal in two boxes... Most people would probably feel lucky but I was like “oh damn...” my tank is going to be way overloaded! Originally I was going to setup a 300G somewhere between thanksgiving and Christmas but now I am pulling it forward to June and July if all the fish do well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I don’t really have a go to place. I go to the ones you mentioned the most except Reef Shac. I just got a copper band butterfly from Atlanta Aquarium yesterday. Finally found one eating well. I am in Suwannee. Where are you at? Based on the stores you go to I am guessing you are not too far from me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The Maldives Juvi (Medium) just arrived Saturday from Live Aquaria (Cali). Multiple mixups delayed the shipment but he arrived.
Very tiny. Maybe 2-2.5 inches. Link to a youtube video from today (day 3) nipping at a clam. https://youtu.be/fxuwEkq4Jso He's sectioned off in my display by egg crate. Only a firefish and goby can get through. Went through a long temp controlled drip acclimation followed by 7 minute freshwater dip upon delivery Saturday. He's very shy as expected, he does venture out into the open a little at a time. He's nipped at rock, algae, and a thawed frozen clam. He has not gone for flake food, frozen mysis, rods, multiple types of pellets, masstick. Garlic enhanced doesnt seem to help. Have not tried live clam or any other live foods. I've had luck getting them onto flakes early but this guy is not interested! Anyone who recently acquired one of these small Maldives recently have luck feeding? Would love some advice on food and technique. It's only day 3 but reading about some eating on day 1. Thanks! |
