Gold Rim Achilles Hybrid Tang

[ksicard]

Hey all,
I'm looking to purchase a gold rim/achilles hybrid but I wanted to ask some temperment questions. Do the hybrids behave more like gold rims or achilles tangs? And in terms of hardiness do they get ich as easily as achilles tangs or do they follow the gold rim tangs hardiness? I've never kept a hybrid before so any information would be appreciated.

They are as aggressive as Achilles and both are "ich prone" if you will

With my limited experience with this beautiful fish, I would completely agree with this.

Fortunately for my wallet, I prefer a run-of-the-mill Achilles to the hybrids.

Even the regular ones are crazy expensive, at least on DD.

That's awesome. Never seen any that small....

Regular going price at a LFS is ~$200? I gladly pay the extra $79 for the guarantee. Especially with an Achilles....

I kind of agree...

They're rarish... but really don't hold a candle to a regular Achilles looks wise.
