Achilles Tang

[tony varrell]

I have been looking for an Achilles Tang for a month now with no luck. Any sugestions where I can find a reliable source with a reputation for healthy speciments??

Even when I do lose things from LA (rarely), I call and they've instantly refunded me without even asking for pictures.

in a 150gallon.. dont do it... that fish needs lots and lots of room to swim... they dont survive in smaller tanks...

Missed the 150 part... Yeah, they are VERY active swimmers.

Thanks for your comments. I am upgrading to a 300 display on Tuesday. Your comments are why I have waited till now..

yeah a 300g is much better.. here is a pic of mine...

Man he looks great. I want one bad...

i put one in a 55g qt last night - crosses fingers. I can't afford to put him in a 300 reef without qt =(

I got mine from LiveAquaria last Tuesday and he has been in my 40 gallon Breeder Qt along with a regal angel. He came in looking great. I observed for several days and lo and behold he came down with ich. I have the tank in Hypo and a majority of the ich is gone. He eats like a pig. I offer mysis and brine with selcon in it and he goes nuts when it hits the water. Definitely get a Diver's Den specimen. I waited over 8 months to finally get one.

is the ich susceptibility the same as PBT's? I know they're "hard" to keep, but I also see many people with PBT's come down with ich. I wonder as a percentage if it's the same?
