Minus the two tangs you're okay. Both fish are going to be extremely cramped. The achilles is not a hardy fish and should not be attempted by anyone but the most experienced hobbyist with a large system. The sailfin will grow to the size of a plate if it doesn't die first. Please reconsider these two fish and return them if you can.

Sailfin will get BIG(up to 18")! When it grows larger, it'll have a tough time just turning around. Plus all the space it can occupy with it's fins displayed. Not sure how big yours is but I have 1 in my 180G that is 7" and when he fully displays himself, he looks pretty impressive.
