The Achilles tang

The Achilles Tang is a very hard fish to keep because of a few reasons. One reason it's hard to keep is because that it swims consistently. It also swims very fast which can be challenging. The Achilles tang should have a pretty big tank and have a lot of space. This fish requires a lot of water movement. If the conditions of the water are not right they will easily die unfortunately. This fish can cost usually between $180 and $380. The Achilles tang does live well in live reef tanks. It should be the only tang in the aquarium. This fish has a herbivore diet, it should be fed a wide variety of food. You should have some of the following foods on a clip on the side of the fish tank: zucchini, nori, and romaine lettuce. The Achilles tang is pretty much always eating. This fish can grow to eight to ten inches and lives between three to thirteen years maximum. You should keep this fish in waters between seventy and seventy four degrees fahrenheit. Here is a picture of an Achilles tang. I only have a freshwater tank so all of the saltwater fish pictures are off the internet. Remember if you have any questions or problems please comment. Thank you for reading my post.
