This link has some good info, they are a medium to hard fish to keep; water parems are very important. Just like majority if tangs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acanthurus_achilles

Achilles are just about the most difficult tang to keep. I looked for one for a LONG time, and they are very hard to find. When you do, they rarely eat, and just about always get ich. This may be one of those fish that should just be left in the ocean...

i actually had one and got it from river city aquatics here in austin. it is a very beautiful fish. i had him with other tangs and got along great. he loved swimming in the jets of the powerheads. he loved the seaweed like all tangs and also ate mysis and brine.
i loved the fish. i should have never sold it just to make profit.
