:squigglemouth:Ok I find my self in a tough spot. I have an Achilles tang that is one of the coolest fish I have ever seen and an equally cool Sohal tang which has been on my want list for a long time. The problem is that my Achilles who is the king of the tank has decided that he doesnt like my Sohal and has been beating him up. If it were you which fish would you keep. Better yet any advice as to what I can do to make them get along would be much appreciated thanks.
Achilles or Sohal???

Well it's strictly preference, but I would keep the Achilles.

I agree, the Achilles
Man no Sohal fans here? Thats ok I have been leaning that direction also. here is my next question. how in the heck do you catch a Sohal tang out of a 450 gallon fish tank with over 500lbs of rock and around 20 other fish?
put the net in the tank, and feed directly by the net for a few days. should be able to just scoop it up once it's used to eating by the net. i recently sold my sohal and this worked for me.
good luck...

Out of curiosity why is everyone voting Achilles? I think the Sohal is a great looking fish if you have the space
my sohal was super aggressive... sohals are pretty easy to come by these days. achilles are not so easy to come by - and if you do find one, we all know how hard they are to acclimate to life in captivity. if you have an established one, it could be a once in a lifetime thing.
plus, the sohal reminds me too much of that other site.

Good points, and I knew that a healthy achilles + acclimation was tough but I didn't know that the sohal got that aggressive.
