Success keeping achilles

[Ryan]

75g is way too small for an achilles.

I haven't had mine as long as some others on here but its about 2years. He does get a few spots now and then and I bump up the garlic. He eats lots of nori and loves frozen plankton, I take sheets of nori/seaweed and drip selcon, vitamin C and Zoe on them and rub it in with a garlic clove then let the sheets sit to dry, sounds like alot of work but I do enough to last 2-3 weeks. He does love flow and can be aggressive toward the other tangs in the tank especially my hippo. I hope to keep him happy for many more years, he is gorgeous. His name is Axel and I think he will need a bigger tank soon or I will have to remove the naso and the hippo, he has no beefs with the purple tang

Beautiful fish Tracy, thanks for sharing the tips on the recipe... What size tank is the Achilles in?

[Tracey2]

He's in a 270g but 450g system. I see that he is getting more aggressive and to keep him happy will either upgrade or move at least the hippo that he hates

My Achilles likes to swim right in front of my Tunze 6015. Kinda reminds me of a treadmill. Haha!
Mine doesn't mind being in a BC29.

[Reefie]

I'm just waiting for the Tang Police to come arrest me now...........



















OK OK I was just joking about an Achilles in a BC29, or was I???
