The Tang Herder
So, I've always been fascinated with the Achilles Tang, and I've wanted to attempt one for some time now. They come with quite the price tag, so its not a fish I've taken to trying lightly.
The fish is listed as Expert Only. What makes this particular Tang difficult? I've got two other 'expert only' fish in my reef that are doing very well (Black Fiji Wrasse and a Potters Angel)
The other question is tang compatibility. I have the following tangs in my reef already:
Sailfin (Largest by far)
Naso
Hippo
Kole (definitely the Jerk fish of the tank - but also the smallest tang)
In addition to what makes them difficult, what is the concensus of an Achilles getting along with the above in a 180? I realize the answer is usually 'its 50/50' but I'm hoping some of you may have some additional insight. A LFS got in a very nice looking Achilles Tang, and its got me thinking....
