You are going to need a very large aquarium, and lots more research, here is a compatability chart: http://www.liveaquaria.com/general/compa... and there is a lot more to saltwater than salt!! You need to do a lot more research, local pet store (private owned are best), internet, library just do a lot more research, when I first got into salt water aquariums I wanted to jump right into it too, but I didn't, I researched for 6 months, planning, and lots more!!
fish are fun i personally at least have 2 of each fish i have... just read up and you never know till you buy and watch what will happen. find a good pet store that best tip i can give you... make sure ur tank is big enough and 1 in of , fish takes 1 gallon of water .. PH ballance is KEY and make sure the food is best u can get change up what u feed them too
Indeed, some fish are what's called 'community fish', meaning they like to swim with others of their kind, and don't get along well with other types of fish. You are about to embark upon a great adventure; fish are a great delight to raise, even though it's a lot of work keeping thier environment balanced so they have a good, healthy life.
Here's a great site to teach you how to set up and maintain a community fish tank.

These fish are saltwater fish, and saltwater tanks are not for beginners. I don't want to sound like a downer, but there are some very advanced requirements for a saltwater tank that even experienced freshwater keepers find daunting. The average cost of a saltwater fish is around $50. You don't want to be killing those because you are inexperienced. Start with a freshwater tank. Learn all there is about how to keep freshwater fish and become an expert at that. Do a ton of research about saltwater tanks in the meantime, and after you have several years of successfully keeping freshwater fish alive, you can then move on to trying saltwater fish.
i could only find stuff on "regal angelfish", not just "regal fish". hope these links help
you should not just jump in at the deep and and get a marine tank, they are harder to look after then tropical fish and require alot of time and care.
you should start off with a tropical tank
Don't jump into something just because you seen it in a movie. That's a bad mistake.

I have noticed that whenever anyone WANTS to get into saltwater, Your answers are totally against it???
Have you ever had a Saltwater tank??
TRY IT, YOU MIGHT LIKE IT.
If you did try it you would probably NEVER go back to freshwater.
Getting back to the Question, try this site, Look up the fish to see if they are compatible.
Remember fish like any other animal all have there own personalities so these charts are not 100% accurate.
