Although it's spelled incorrectly, the Achilles tang is known to have a VERY poor survival rate in home aquariums. I have not had one personally, but from what I have read it is the hardest to keep.
Achillies are very hard fish to keep, maybe even right under the Moorish Idol. Same with Powder Blue tangs as they often dont make it in captivity either. I dont understand why people seek out to keep these fish that never seem to thrive when there are some many great looking tangs out there that are easy keepers.
The Yellow tang, sailfin tang, and many others are not hard to keep and do well in captivity.
Well looks like the arcillies tang is the clear winner. I voted for it since in my expierence it has proven very hard to keep. I would have assumed the Powder Blue would have scored a higer overall percentage since they are percieved by some to be very difficult keepers.
