Antler Coral

Thats why I put wikipedia in there too.

 

I have been keeping tangs for years The info I posted was not from any fish sale sight or any other sight. It is from my experience. I make a point of researching the care, compatibility and feeding requirements of any animal before purchasing it.

( Any body else here been able to keep an Achilles tang alive? )

Here is an interesting article for you.

Identity Crisis – What’s My Name? Paracanthurus hepatus by Henry Schultz - Reefkeeping.com

 

I haven't had the nerve to try yet. ;D It's the most gorgeous tang I've ever seen. How long have you had yours for?

 

3 years now

And I was not referring to your post when I said "The info I posted was not from any fish sale sight"

 

What do you attribute your success with this fish to?

 

If I can get a hold of an Achilles Im sure it would do fine just like the rest of the tangs Ive had over the years, and the powder brown(poweder brown) I have now is doing great.

As for the article, thats one persons opinion, all the EXPERTs say they require lots of veggies. I'd listen to experts before I listened to an article. Just because somebody is published , does not make them an expert. When I say expert, I am referring to marine biologists.

 

Mostly marinating as close to pristine water conditions as passable, keeping it well supplied with algae, Strong water circulation, it loves to swim against the water flow and doing the Researching way before getting it and also past experience with other Tangs.

amcarrig you and Tangster can do it I know you can.

 

I guess the key word here would be HAD

 

Just read it and do some reserch of your own.:

 

HAD is because they got too big and let them go to a bigger home.
