Received the yellow belly regal angelfish in good health. It’s a rare find and fits well in our 75-gallon reef tank. Active but not overly aggressive. Needs a stable environment and proper hiding spots.

The fish arrived healthy and has been adjusting well. We’ve noticed it’s curious and spends time near the rockwork. Feeding is straightforward with high-quality flakes and frozen foods.

Hard to find in small size, and this one is a true rarity. It’s vibrant and active. We’ve maintained stable water parameters and it’s thriving after a few weeks.
