Longiotti Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I have been wanting an Achillies tang for 3 or 4 years now. Every time I ask a LFS to get me one they say they ordered it but it didn't so up. can anyone get one of these? any fish stores in Portland have these in stock? how much are they? I would be willing to drive up there if I can get 1 or 2. Let me know!? I have read a lot about them also. I know that they are hard to keep and are temperamental. this is a challenge that I really want to take on. I have had a purple tang for over a year and am really looking forward to something differnet. I just love the way these fish look also.

Danik Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Hard to keep, saltwater Fantaseas has one. They are around $140. Forgot to ask how big is your tank. This fish is not for any tank that is smaller than 200g. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coralreefer Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 demanding fish...don't recommend if you have powder blues, powder brown, white rim tangs...they live and thrive in turbulent, high current areas so you might need to check tank flow...

Longiotti Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 Ok I am reviving this thread. I am headed to the meeting this month at the Clownhouse and would like to pick an Achillies Tang when I am going through portland. There are never any down here so I thought I would pick one up sense I am already passing through. can I get an updated report if anyone knows a store that has one or anyone wanting to sell one they have? prices would be great too. this way I do not have to try and call every store in portland. Plus you guys know where to go. thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 The place I have consistently seen them is Tim at Westside but I imagine if you call any of the sponsors they can probably order one for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
