Great video Marie.

So what your saying is, hes going to be in a 29gal for a year.OUCH!Id bring him back till your ready.

I think it will be in a 90G for a year.

NO!!!! lol.. I said that I have been waiting for the fish to arrive for a year and the 29 is only for QT tank.

Awesome video Marie!! Thanks for sharing! I love Achilles Tangs. =-]

Really nice to see the achilles buzz to and fro the tank. It is fun to watch them tumble in the current.
I think they like it because it is highly oxygenated.

Marie, I think your Achilles is nuts!

Mine is only a little crazy compared to yours. He is pretty much the only fish I've been unable to take a decent photo of. So that should provide some idea of how much he moves around.

While mine eats most everything, there is no doubt that he would prefer to just eat nori constantly. I would recommend leaving a few strips of nori all over that QT...stuck to the walls, elastic'd to a rock. Eventually, he's bound to pick at one.

here is an update of him, hes eating!!! yeah!!!! he was peaking on the red macro that I put it in for him, hes eating nori and mysis as well but still pretty shy, he only eats when I am not around so I have to hide in a corner and he started to eat the mysis that was floating around. another good sign is that he got no more ich, bravo!!! I am thinking to have him in there for 2 more days, what do you guys think?
day 2

With an Achilles, it is kind of luck of the draw. I have had mine now for just over 2 years. I quarantined him for about 4 wks when I first got him. He developed ich in the quarantine tank, which I treated with cooper. I then put him into my display tank and have never had an issue since then. He is definitely the most active fish in my tank as well. One issue I never had to deal with, was him eating. He ate nori, mysis and pellets right from day one. IMO definitely one of the most striking and beautiful fish out there. Good luck!

Hes in my main tank now and hes doing great, peaking on every single rock and eating nori like a pig but yet not eating mysis. hes being bossy already hehe dont know if it a good thing or not probably he is my last fish hehe.
