Z scopa?nope only have the nigrofuscus,foxface,cleaner wrasse and clarki clown in my DT.

But to be safe,im going to try the bottle method in a weeks time.
just waiting for the regal to get abit stronger and eating better.
just put a L-bend pvc pipe in the bottle for shelter.

guys i have my juvi regal in the 5litre bottle in the tank,he just wants to get out,but im not sure if i should just yet.

the nigrofuscus(surgeon)isnt even bothered by the regal in the bottle,swims pass the bottle but no aggresion.
can i let him out yet?

[Baradhel]

Well it's a good sign if the brown is ignoring it. I'd say go for it if you have decent cover for the regal to hide in if there is any aggression.

[maj]

ther is ample rocks to hide in,should i do it now or wait for lights off?

[Baradhel]

Either lights off, or after a heavy feeding. I find fish are less aggressive when they're too fat to swim properly.

Here is the jail tank
see how small the regal is


2 threats



I will release him after feeding then

[maj]

regal is doing good,didnt even hide or anything...jjust started swimming like crazy,the other fish didnt even look at him!
