huge achilles tang

[clowntang]

yesterday at aquarium enthusiasts they had a huge achilles tang on sale for $300

[Psyire]

I seen it as well, awesome specimen. Hopefully it goes to a good home with lots of 'room'.

That is my all time favorite tang and I would get one but I don't have a large enough tank to set up as a quarantine and these particular fish are just about guaranteed to get ich when stressed from moving.

i can only dream i had a tank big enough to house him

[michika]

I was sorely tempted when I saw it! It was so pretty! I was so beautiful!

[Ruth]

Yeah - I have a big enough tank - just not a big enough q tank. I think that Wendell got one in at OA as well recently and I was so tempted to give it a try but it would have to go into my 190 which has a Naso tang and Maroon Clownfish as well as 3 anemones and live rock so not much chance of treating if it got sick.

what is a good size for an achilles tang, tank i mean? i love that fish but nervous about the survival rate

I quarantined mine in a 4ft, 55g tank with 2 hagen 802 powerheads and 2 maxijet 1200's. He had marine velvet when he arrived and had to be treated with copper but he made it through the 8 weeks alright.

He sure was happy to get into the 175g though

You should see Marie's Achilles in person. It's gorgeous for sure.
