    Thanks everyone, redgambit its not a monster like yours lol, as a frame of reference the achillies in the tank behind him, is approximately 4 inches. I would say he is a good 6 or 6.5 inches. I just got done setting up the QT for him, so hopefully I will be bringing him home tomorrow. I have always loved the achillies, but honestly been scared to try and keep them. Here we go!

    Pickupman66, thats awesome and I love the convict tang as well but heard they were shy. I got scuba certified August this year, in Isla Mujeres Mexico. That would have been a sight to see an achillies in the wild. We mostly saw angels, and damselfish.

    Thanks all, it has been a good day so far, the achillies is about ready to be placed in QT, and my new SWC 180 Cone Skimmer was put in the sump, only a few days until I can get rid of the HOB Aqua C Remora Skimmer, and finally be able to use my canopy! On a side note, I aced my Final exam in my Masters level finance course.
