What do think about this fish? I have read that they are hard to keep but I've seen videos where people are keeping these fish and seem to be doing well. I have a 180 GAL but the only problem I have a powder blue tang which are in the family as the Achilles tang, Has any body tried to keep this fish? and if so have they had any luck.

They are my favorite tang. Gorgeous fish isn't it? But I'd not risk two Ancanthurus in a 180 together.

Oh and by the way..PBTs are considered difficult to keep as well but you seem to be handling that. =)

I see you posting on allot of these threads you must really have the passion for keeping fish and for helping other people. I think it's great, I have only been in saltwater for about 4 years so I'm still learning.

Nice way of calling me a blabbermouth. =)
I'm admittingly obsessed. Reading everything I can get my hands on. Looks like I'll be my club libararian soon as well so now I'll have even more to read here at home.
