Buyer's Remorse

I would

Reefers are constantly changing their minds & their tanks because they want something special (as opposed to the "ugly stepsisters") so I don't think its strange or wrong for you to feel this way. We have limited space & bioload and always feeling regret when you look at your tank is unnecessary.

i would find it a new home first i dont think giving some someting a false sence of security is right so i dont think you should take it back to the pet store but mabie yuor friend has an emptie tank and they want it

if it doesnt feel right dont do it

personaly i can only but the fish that arnt in good shape or are kinda ugley
thats the only kind of fish that i can have in my tank lol

this one has improved drastically since I got it, still on the skinny side but it's probably gained 25% of it's original body mass since I've had it. Any chance it will suddenly transform? Am I right in thinking that the colours it has now are the colours it will stick with?

Just keep it. Get itfat and healthy. Then decide it its what you want. At least then you can sell a healthy ugly fish

Adam. You worry too much with the tank! That's the best advice anyone can give to you

Could it just be stress coloration? Apparantly they pale when water conditions are less than ideal . Id say fatten him up and wait to see what happens with the color , it might brighten up.

Feed it a good quality food, lots of vitamins or the colour enhancing stuff, typically as the fish ages the colours come in better as well but diet plays a large roll on looks.
