Whoever stole the Achilles tang from JL today...
 

damn you!!
I came down to take a peek at it. Never seen one in person.

It was still there at 3

Wasn't me.. The last achilles broke my heart and I'm not keen to try again. At 3 years, I suppose mine did better than many others.

I saw it there yesterday as well but my 3 other tangs don't care if it costs $275. I was still tempted though.

Why would you be tempted to buy one?

Sadly, this is one of the most impossible tangs to keep and it is tough to watch them perish.

.........

what?

at least your rants used to make sense...

Thanks for the compliment, Bobytron!

Tempted to buy one because it is such an amazing looking fish.

I am also aware of the realities of keeping one, especially with 3 other tangs, and therefore, not only do I save $275, I don't feel guilty for having it die in my tank.

so why are they so hard to keep?
