what would be the ultimate pair of fish to keep for you?

I dream about two achilles in a monster size tank, which would be a 4-500g for me.

Please try to be somewhat realistic and not state 2 peppermint angels.

Also, please list what fish you have in pairs.

I have a pr of scribbled angels and 2 personifer angelfish.
 
+1 on having multiple achilles. I doubt I'll ever have a tank large enough for them. Multiples of fish I currently have:

Potters angels (2)
Flame angels (2)
Multicolor angels (3)

Possible considerations for the future (already have one):
Flame hawkfish
Goldflake angel

After seeing a bandit angel diving, I would love to try to pair a couple of them.
 
With a big enough budget, a pair of P. multifasciatus or C. interruptus angels from RCT.

With an unlimited budget (and a marine biologist to advise me!), a huge coldwater system with a pair of seadragons.

And I love my clownfish, so I'd have to have a system for a pair of latezonatus. :)

I'd love a pair of Blue Face Angels...probably my favorite fish ever.

I doubt I'll ever have a tank big enough to keep one...but they're very cool.
 
A pair of Majestic Angels.
They don't grow too big and they don't nip corals that bad. And best of all, they are not too expensive, easy to keep.
 
a pair of green mandarins that are eating frozen and pellets. my all time favorite fish if I have to pick one as there are so many that i love...

if ever i can afford, i will try to pair these
 
If I was paying for it a nice pair of Meredithi angels, if my rich uncle was indulging me a pair of conspics.

If I had a really rich uncle who not only bought my fish but the huge tank (pond?) they would need would be a pair of epaulette sharks.

michael cb 125 and nonimmigrant - do you guys have threads detailing your pairings and/or systems? Are all the achilles in the same tank?

Wow, that is a serious stocking list! Is this in some sort of saltwater pond? I can't imagine the size of the tank necessary to house 4 achilles and all these other fish. Would also love to see a shot of the lennardi!
