Has anyone tried the sohal and achilles tang combo?

Has anyone tried to put a achilles tang after having a sohal? Fight?

I'm reconstructing my tank right now so I was wondering would a achilles and sohal get along, if they do I was gonna throw my sohal back in the tank and try to get a achilles tang. For some reason my blue tang and sohal are fighting

No I wasn't going to but I currently have a sohal on my 50 and I might move it to a 120g and I wanted to buy a achilles to put in the 120 if they were to fight I was gonna put my sohal back into the 50

a sohal isn't gonna be happy in a 120 even if it's the only tang in there. they get very big and need a ton of room to swim. the achilles would be ok in a 120, but neither is ok in a 50 for long.

Achilles need insane flow and lots of swimming room. 8' tank minimum is the only conditions I've heard them surviving in longterm. Your 120 won't work for either tangs :/.

(sheepishly) i stand corrected, i was thinking of a 125g, not a 120g. 4' isn't enough for those tangs. sorry, dude.
have you seen any of the other smaller tangs? i had a tomini in my old reef, that was a cool fish.

don't even try those tangs in a 120. bad idea... you need to do some research on the tangs before buying them.
