    The is a good chance the Achilles will out grow your tank in a year or so. They are very active swimmers and need lots of swimming room.

    I agree with Vinny on the Yellow being aggressive when you add in the Achilles.

    Just be prepared for all possibilities if you get another tang.

    I'm guessing Achilles.

    The Achilles and yellow are going to bicker quite a bit so be prepared. It can be done. I have had an Achilles and purple tang in my tank for a while back in 09-10... Lost the Achilles during a power outage when they redid our road. If the Achilles isnt a strong eater, swimmer and feisty, more then likely it will run into a lot of issues with the yellow.

    And if it does do well. Just be prepared for it to rule that tank. Mine would kill small wrasses when I added them. The joys of Psycho Blue Achilles Eyes :)
