Regal Angelfish

Given the right environment, specifically with smaller and docile tank mates like gobies and dwarf angels, it will start feeding within days when fed brine shrimp, brine shrimp plus flakes, and further progressing to regular frozen foods. With a hostile environment with fellow large angels, puffers, triggers, and certain clowns, it will almost certainly fail to acclimate and slowly die of starvation due to its shyness to start feeding.
