Be aware you need a lot of flow to keep an achilles tang healthy.

flow is not a problem i may have to much

Wouldn't go with a Achilles Tang, to much of a picky tang. They are pretty hard to keep though...

Try a few of these They're inexpensive, peaceful and you can keep a small school in your tank :smile:

I have an Achilles in my 225g, but I would suggest either a Purple or Yellow Tang

john hill · Feb 4, 2009

I knew someone who added a convict tang with some tangs they had for a while and the convict killed one of them. I think it was a purple...just saying I have heard they can be aggressive, even though they are generally not supposed to be.
