Achilles Tang

[ninjamini]

How about a Achilles Tang with a Purple tang? In a 90 gal?
Just a question? Please mr tang police just let me off with a warning.

The achilles tang is one of the, if not the most, difficult tangs to keep, let alone in a small tank. It is definitely not a good idea.

Yea but thats just lion_crazz...what does he know!
Just kidding. O'yea and damm. At what point should I consider one or are they just not good for any tank.

besides a larger tank the following:
1. a healthy specimen
2. SPS dominated type water flow
3. clean outstanding water quality
4. no sustained harrassing tankmates
5. a little good luck never hurts
there is nothing particularly too difficult about any of the above (with time and money) they just arent hardy overall.

From all the research I have done I couldnt agree more...
They are beautiful, I was wanting to add one when I get my new tank going..I think I am going to wait until I am sure of it though..

Tell her you 'need it' if she has any hope of seeing an Achilles
