Captive Bred Regal Baby

[Nox.]

This is the first captive regal on r2r that I know of. Just thought I would share. Anyone have any tips or advise on baby regals?

I don’t have any tips but I just wanted to say how awesome that is. Where did u buy it?

I got this from an LFS on Long Island NY. Was told this is one of 15 in the country.

That's awesome ! The future of this hobby relies on these captive breeding efforts. Hope it does well for you!

That’s awesome. Where’d you find her?

I've got a ton of interest. I just picked up two of these from Marine Collectors, I haven't received them yet but I'm looking for tips to make sure mine do well in a couple of weeks.

An LFS called Advanced Marine Aquatics, Long Island, NY

Great to see! Hopefully, we have more available in the near future.

I was just sharing a story yesterday about captive bred regals from Bali aqua rich. Good luck with it

Wow I'm very excited about this. They are one of my all time favorite fish and for them to start showing up as captive bred is huge. Hopefully it won't take too long for the price to come down a little.

What is your CB Regal eating or will eat?
Will Andrew be getting anymore in?

Just got 2 small captive bred babies in my tank. Currently in an acclimation box to allow them to grow out a bit more since the tiny pellets they eat are way too small for me to reliably throw in my tank in hopes that they find and eat it.

Nice. Post a pic pls. Should b here on the 19 th. Pick up later in the week.

How have your regal babies been? Do they have a preferred food? My pair seem to enjoy the TDO pellets that are 1-2mm. I feed several times a day but most of them are not eaten and escape out of the acclimation box where they get eaten by my other fish.

Wondering when to release them into the display tank.

Hi. Mine just arrived today. Picking up Thursday. Can’t wait

 

[HudsonReefer2.0]

Here she is. Acclimating. The one in focus

Waiting for pick up.

Mine definitely prefers flakes over anything, even live food! I love captive-bred fish.
