yea sometimes they just die. Maybe because of stress in the tank you put him in.

or because it just was its time to die.
We spend alot of time on this forum(at least I do:eek2: ) trying to second guess what we might have done wrong----which is an excellent thing to do------but when it comes right down to it sometimes it could be just a fact of nature.

 

[Reeftanks6]

i am not sure about the price of an achilles

$200-500 US
http://www.marinecenter.com/fish/tangs/achillestang/ :eek2:

 

[Reeftanks6]

marine center is a lot of money i have seen them at my LFS for a 100

 

[kar93]

Tank Size - 75gallon :eek1:

 

[Aquarist007]

hmmm----do you agree with that---I thought the achilles got much larger then for that

I'll see if I can find my tang size charts again

 

[kar93]

No i definitely dont agree, Marine center also say a Sohal can be kept in a 55

 

[Reeftanks6]

yes i do not go to them for info because they are very poor with info.

 

[Aquarist007]

this is a better site of info--its not the chart I am looking for but it you scroll down the page there is good info on all the tangs


http://animal-world.com/encyclo/marine/tangs/achilles.php

I'll get looking

 

[Reeftanks6]

lol yes that is a good site.

 

[kar93]

Ive used that site many times for info but i dont like the pic they have of the achilles.
Are they just from hawaii, i may be wrong but i read they are in the red sea (im probably wrong), when i went there the sohals was always swimming around your feet when youre walking the shallow parts just off the beach.

 

[Reeftanks6]

i think some of them come from the red sea not really sure.

 

[kar93]

Just been googling it says they are from the indo pacific so there maybe some from the red sea.

 

[Reeftanks6]

yes

 

[kar93]

Has anybody got any really good shots of there achilles?

 

[Reeftanks6]

here are some great shots on this guys website. http://frontpage.simnet.is/dna/achilles.htm

 

[kar93]

Yeah, they are great shots
This is my favourite

Im surprised the Tang Police arent straight on this thread, i havent heard from them in a while. Anybody know if theyve gone?
