Multiple Achillies Tangs in a 220?

[ReefWaters]

Has anyone had any experience keeping multiple Achilles Tangs in the same tank?

I have a 220 gallon display. 60" x 48" x 20" high. I have very little rock work leaving a TON of room for swimming. I am not a big fan of having tons of fish but I would like a show piece of two. I currently don't have any other tangs or large fish and don't really plan on it.

The only other large fish I would like is a Blueface Angel.

I would REALLY like to try 3 or more Achilles in this tank but I need to do a lot more research.

Any advice or direction would be really appreciated here.

Thanks,

RW

Achilles is a beautiful fish but really really hard to keep. I am not sure if you have experience with the fish before but i never have good luck with it. You should check out the Reef fish forum as there are many valuable information on that fish and other hard to keep fish..

They are hard to get in healthy. They are very territorial. I would only try a pair. If you add them at the same time and they are very different in size, they MIGHT not kill each other. But you would really be taking a chance. Don't plan on ading to many more fish after they are established, unless they new fish are armor plated. Achillies can be mean, mean fish.
