    New addition...Chevron Tang, It's like him and the Purple Tang are long lost best friends, they have been swimming together since he was placed in the tank, I wonder if they both are just happy the Sohal is gone. Anyway I will take the new peaceful mood in the tank.

    Just got back from the LFS, they got my Achillies Tang in, he is huge (5-6" exlcuding his tail!), anyway I had to buy a new skimmer, so I wont be picking him up until I get the skimmer, and a few days of breaking it in. I wanna be careful with him, oh and he was eating at the store so a good sign.

    Dang bro! that stinks about the sohal. mine has been doing just fine. Except wed night he and the purple got into it sometime in the night over a sleeping spot and both ended up with a few bruises and misplaced scales. during the day, they are all happy, and doing well. I have always wanted a chevron. very awesome fish.

    the Achilles will be very similar in tollerance to the sohal. very similar fish except their color. I would love to have one. very succeptable to ICH.
