Achilles Tang Primer

[jbvdhp]

I had a 3" AT in QT for 30 days with cupperamine for a couple of weeks. He was in there with a vampire tang as well. They both ate Reef frenzy on the second day and fed heavily on nori in less than a week.
After QT for 30 days and no sign of dieses I moved them to my DT. The vampire is still looking great 2 weeks later but I lost the AT 3 days after he was put in? Any thoughts to why?

Damn, that sucks. I guess it could be a number of things but copper is harsh on fish.

Hi All

I am back in this forum after 5 years, I last bought an 3 inch Achilies in 2010 Sept and had it for 9 months, after that I didn't buy any achilies. Now I paid deposit in a store in Toronto for 3 inch achilies which is eating at the store. Going to pick it up this weekend.

I doubt it actually does what it claims, also the reviews are quite poor http://www.amazon.com/New-Life-Spec...ll_btm?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=recent

I know it's not 100% achilles but I just had to share. Ive had him for 2 weeks now. It's hard to take a pic because he is so active and already eats out of my hand.

Thank you for your help

my achilie eats all the food now, so I won't buy this, bc it may stop eating other food too.

This is an achilles goldrim hybrid tang. Nice fish!

Had a Achilles arrive 4 days ago. Eating mysos, spirulina brine shrimp, pellets and working on nori. Great appetite. Currently in my 75 gal QT, then into the 300.

Wow ReefPharmer that's one beautiful specimen you've got there ... only a few more weeks until mine arrives.

I lost my Achilles due to being in a small holding tank while new replacement larger aquarium was cycling. I now only have a small 3.5" Achilles hybrid. He's doing great in the new tank.

Here 's a pic of my 6" achilles tang. I've had him for 4 days now. Only eats nori and brine shrimp.
Will a 45g quarantine tank be big enough to keep him happy?

Beautiful specimen you've got there, and yes as long as you've got the right flow;you should be able to qt him in there for another 4 weeks happily until he wants more swimming room.
