That's true but is my tank big enough for that to happen. Also is my tank big enough for a hippo tang?

Aren't purples know for being mean as well? The chevron is actually more than the Achilles which shocked me.

He's a pretty penny as well he looks nice as juvi but gets kind of drab as he matures

Well that sucks I'm so sure on this then it great looking fish but I kinda want more just one fish I'm gonna have to think about this. Also what are some good replacement tangs if I decide not to get the achilles?

Well I don't have any corals or plans for keeping corals. So basically I would want to put him last and is that aggression towards all other fish or just other tangs?

I'll have to stock up on some veggies for him. Also when should I add the tang first, last somewhere in the middle?

How often should you feed tangs veggies?

Is there any other general tang tips or knowledge you could pass on to the new guy.

I think I'll try one as soon as I can find one for a reasonable price if thats possible. And do have to feed tangs seaweed cause I've read you feed them lettuce, broccoli, carrots and other veggies.

It seems like other than the price tag on these fish they're just like every other tang is this true or am I missing something?

Are Achilles notorious for being mean and nasty? And from what I've read and heard a 6' tank is the average recommended tank length for most tangs if that means anything.

I'm just kinda guessing it would I guess since I've been told I could keep a lieutenant tang 10" or a orange shoulder tang 12" so theoretically it should work but I want others opinions since I still have no idea what I'm doing. So what your saying is it's not technically harder just less kept...

No kidding about the cost its one expensive fish which is why I want to know all about them and why people say they're hard to keep I know they need pristine water but that's true about all tangs and like all the other tangs it needs open swimming space with hiding spots to sleep in I'm...

I thought they were actually one of the smaller tangs at only 8-9" max size? and what specifically do they have trouble adapting to? And does a juvenile adapt better than an adult or does not really matter?

Has anyone had any experience with one and if you haven't I'd still appreciate any info you have on it like minimum tank size why they are considered one of the hardest fish to keep and anything else you have to offer about this fish.

Does the air line go in the pipe?

And what goes in a QT tank?
