The Regal Angelfish is another spectacular
creature of the Egypt waters. His scientific name is
Pygoplites diacanthus and he is also known as the Regal Angel.
The Regal Angelfish has his body covered with white and yellow
bars that have dark borders; his chest is blue and his tail is
yellow. The young Regal Angelfish has a blue eyespot on the
body's rear and on the dorsal fin's rear. This fish is a
medium-sized one, having up to 25 centimeters. The lagoons with
rich coral growth and the coral reefs are the places with the
Regal Angelfish lives. You can see him close to the ledges and
to the caves, in depths from 1 meter to 48 meters. The Regal
Angelfish's diet is made from tunicates, salps, sea squirts and
sponges. Although he is a shy fish, he doesn't tolerate the
abuses at all and is vacillating when it comes to the aquarium
foods, the Regal Angelfish is a very popular angelfish for
keeping him into an aquarium. It is recommended to keep this
fish with a mated pair or even single and to feed him two or
three times every day, with scallops, shrimps, marine fish flesh
and squids, as well as special frozen preparations for the
angelfish. Before puttying a Regal Angelfish into the aquarium
you have to be sure that the fish was fully acclimated and you
have to make sure that he has many places where he can hide from
his tank colleagues, because the Regal Angelfish is shy,
especially at the beginning. If the fish is threatened by his
tank mates, he will never be able to adapt himself. It seems
that the only place where the Regal Angelfish can adapt is a
reef tank. |
