I have a 185 DSA. I have a purple tang,hippo tang,naso, sailfin tang, and a bluejaw. They are all about 4 inches and I was wondering if I could add a achilles to the mix. The other fish have been together
for over a year and never got into each other. I want to add the achilles but I'm worried about the purple and the achiles fighting. My purple has never gotting mean towards any of the fish that was added after him. If I get the achiles, the sailfin would have to come out .the achiles I would get would be atleast the same size as the purple. Here is what my tank looks like. I like the openness so my fish have a lot of swimming room.

You could rearrange the rock work! But since the others been in the tank for awhile it will be hard to curb aggresion. You could add two more tangs maybe to spread out the aggresion!

IMHO an Achilles tang would be too stressed in this tank and die pretty quickly.
