Here's my close to full size achilles. Fishbase says 24cm and this guy is around 20cm. Hard to tell exactly because he won't stay still long enough to be measured.

Amazing fish. This might be my queue to upgrade

If your going to upgrade with an achilles tang in mind, go with an 8ft tank if possible.
6ft is still not long enough for such an active fish, even when he was small

Dream + Plan = Reality

You're half way there already.

I know they are small, but you get much worst than Four Stripe Damselfish
(Dascyllus melanurus), put them in your tank first and see!!

I have a full grown clown goby roughly around 1" in size.

 

[graysmurf]

wow that achilles is amazing

 

[Cantonesefish]

I do this by hand feeding all the other fish and litterally pushing away my dominant Emperor. He always tries to eat first and I just push him away with my hand and allow the others to feed.

Try that with an achilles and it might slice your hand off, though :mixed:

here's our full-grown Pterois volitans. we raised it from a tiny fish smaller than a pecan. the Rhinopias frondosa is also full-grown.
