anyone have experience with Acanthurus tenneti/Lieutenant Tang?

[Delphinus]

I've read varying estimates of size as well. I got the impression that they are one of the smaller Acanthurus species. They are also one of the mildest mannered (more timid/less aggressive) Acanthurus as well.

Beautiful tang. Too bad I made the mistake of trying to QT him. Lived about 2 weeks. Don't know if I'll try another, if I do, I don't know if I'll ever try to QT fish again. What a fiasco that was.

Quite frankly the list of fish I won't try just seems to be growing, and the list of fish I can still try are ... um ... Start of list: Amphriprion ocellaris. End of list. Yay hobby!

(Sorry, there goes that inside voice again.)

I also read that they were one of the smaller Acanthurus species. I also read that they were a moderatly easy tang to maintain.

I have one on hold and will be picking it up this weekend.. I will post some pics once its acclimated to my tank.
