Time to Admit I'm a Bonehead

[AJ_77]

I made a mistake.

On Saturday I bought a Regal Angelfish, and have yet to see it eat in my tank. Even though there is a necessary period of adjustment, I am startled by the shyness of this fish. Nothing like the angels I kept in the past - not even as spunky as a dwarf angel, not even close. So calm, the Naso doesn't even have to show it agression, just shadow him to keep him spooked.

I've tried a few different things to get him to eat. I don't think that he will. My tank isn't the nice peaceful place he needs, and I screwed up to put him here. I don't want to have to resort to drastic measures, because even if I could force food down his gullet, his personality means that's probably all the food he'll get.

If anyone locally has a previous interest in this beautiful fish, and is prepared for one, you should PM me now. Thanks - here's a picture of one, mine is near identical and about 4" in the body:
