Achilles Tang??

[Mugen]

I am thinking of purchasing an Achilles but i am really not familure with them is ther any info you can post about them? i have a 75 gal reef tank with an ehiem 2217 canister & a pro clear pro 75 wet dry w/ skimmer. also 65 lbs of LR and 25 lbs of LS wondering if my tank can handle an Achilles?

no, a 75g tank is to small for that tang. they need tanks that are 6' or longer.

the Achilles tang is also one of the harder tangs to keep. a lot has to be in the way they are captured. they can also be hard to get to eat, which is unussual for herbivores.

I agree that the 75 is too small. and the achillies is very sensitive.

Look into a yellow tang, purple tang, hippo tang, or kole tang.
Those tangs are more tolorant of smaller spaces like the 75.
