Its the same thing with any hard to keep fish. It comes down to a situation where either the fish has a high chance of dieing, or you purchase it and do your best, knowing that your care will be better than many others who would have bought it and thrown it in their tank with triggers and puffers.
Like I said, it was a moral dilemma. We try to be responsible hobbyists but it doesn't always work.
