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.

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.
