They are a delicate fish.
They need a big tank with strong current, heavily oxygenated water and many feedings a day. Beautiful yes. But, imo, not a fish for captivity. Sean

white cheecks are just as delicate. Achilles are tough to keep. They require as mentioned highly oxygenated water, they come from surge zones. Also the point I cant stress enough is this fish needs to be prestine from the get go. A healthy specimen is probably the biggest key.

I have one. He is a great fish that I feel is hardy in an established tank with algae in it. The love to pick all day long. They are one of my favorite fish. Too bad I can't put it with my powder blue. That would be a fight to the death. I would get one if I were you. Good luck.

the powder brown is hardier, the whitecheek isn't. they are 2 different fish. after research, i may pass up a tang and go with an angel.

My achilles tang is in a 120 long. He lives with a blue thoat trigger and a grey angel. I have in a 125, a powder blue, large orange shoulder, large sailfin, naso and hippo tang. All of them get along well. I leave algae grow on the back of the tank and they pick all day with multiple feedings of a varied diet.
