The Achilles Tang, also known as the Red-tailed Surgeonfish or Achilles Surgeonfish, is a strikingly beautiful and highly sought-after fish in the saltwater aquarium trade. It is named after the legendary Greek hero Achilles, due to the bright blue and yellow colors on its body that resemble a warrior’s armor. The Achilles Tang is a large fish, reaching up to 10-12 inches in length, and requires a tank size of at least 180 gallons to accommodate its active nature and large size. It is a herbivorous fish and requires a diet high in vegetable matter, including seaweed, spirulina, and other algae-based foods. This fish is known for its aggressive behavior towards other fish of the same species and similar body shape, and should only be kept with other larger, aggressive fish in a very large aquarium. Due to its high price and challenging care requirements, the Achilles Tang is recommended for expert aquarists only.
