Maybe its an age thing Jim, like some of the others from juvenile to adult. Either that or a regional thing depending on where it was caught. I did find one interesting article about a very rare hybrid. Yes yes I know thats no help, but it was interesting.

The one I saw in a pet shop was purple, more of a blue purple rather than the red that purple can sometimes be.

In fact you almost want to say blue.

Jim Sachs · 09-20-2005, 06:47 PM

Thanks, Marian. Do you remember how big that one was? I'm trying to determine if they change color with age.

I suppose you have already seen this page:
http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/Spec...6&lang=English

From pictures and descriptions I've seen, I would say the blue in some pics comes from different lightning conditions, the fish itself seems to be black or dark-brown.

I'll visit local pet shops, maybe they have one.

Here is a picture of a juvenile, the orange circle is'nt full developed yet.

I thought it was a young one, but I didn't ask. At the time I was keeping a saltwater tank and so I checked out the fish pretty often, I never bought the Achilles Tang, I like the yellow tang better. The fish was a little larger than my hand. It has been about fifteen years ago and that was at a pet shop in Raliegh. At the time I wasn't sure of the name of the fish, I knew it was a tang but that is all until later when I was reading up on them.

Blackish-purple, but there is a green sheen that light brings out.

feldon34 · 09-21-2005, 07:21 AM

Some more...

Marian Nichols · 09-21-2005, 09:40 AM

That's pretty close to how I remember it. Only those shots are a little darker, but it has been fifteen years since I saw that one.

Jim Sachs · 09-21-2005, 09:51 AM

Well, I'm glad we cleared that up! I guess I'll make it blackish-bluish-brownish-purplish-gray.

ESHIREY · 09-21-2005, 09:53 AM

That's how they looked when I was at "That Fish Place" about a month ago.

Do we get to vote on this? I cast my vote for deep chocolate brown with a rich carrot or very ripe papaya orange spot.

Sorry Jim. Guess we're kind of anxious to help out even if we don't know how...

Here's a shot of the new Achilles Tang.

Excellent! I think you went with a good color choice!

Very nice! The "tang" must be the orange part, right?
