Achille tangs

[fishplace817]

Any suggestion how to keep a Achilles tang alive? What your parameters of your tank? If you guys can share some ideas and thoughts. I am thinking about getting one later down the road. I just want to make sure I can keep it alive later. Thanks

1) 6 foot tank
2) properly quarantining and treating all fish to keep out parasites — they cannot he kept in “ich management tanks” and if you do not quarantine this fish will NOT survive (statistically)
3) lots of nori, varied foods
4) they enjoy high flow
5) less nasty tankmates, unless added together with nasty tankmates
6) moderately clean water
