Experience with Achiles Tangs

[Pepperbox]

Does anyone have first hand experience with one.
-How was it after shipping?
-What kind of current in the tank?
-Is it still doing well ? etc, etc..........

i had one
it was fine after shipping and did well for a while but unfortunately succumbed to ich after a month or two.
Maurod has one that he has had for quite some time,maybe 18 months or so(hopefully he can give you a more accurate time)
They need plenty of swimming room,and turbulent flow,they are a restless fish.
Mine used to sit right in front of the tunzes

One of the more delicate shippers but once acclimated & eating they are usually pretty hardy IMPE.

I've had no luck in the past with this specific tang. If you read up on them, you'll find they do much better in a surge system as they are taken from turbulent waters. The bigger the tank the better your chances also imo.
