Buyer's Remorse
You know those really spectacular Powder Blue tangs? Jet black faces, bright white ring around the lips, deep blue bodies, snow white tails with a dark black frame... Amazing.
Then there's the less aesthetically fortunate members of the species, with dusky, almost grey faces that barely provide any contrast to their more washed out blue bodies, with barely a hint of the black on their tail.
Yah, well I bought the latter. It was an impulse purchase and there were no other fish in the store to compare it to. I was wondering why mine didn't look so "ooooooh" to me until I saw some of the really amazingly coloured ones in Ocean Creation the other day. I'm secretly hoping that as it gains weight it will magically transform in to cinderalla at the ball, but I've had it on good authority that it will more than likely always be an ugly stepsister.
Does it make me a bad person that I want to fish mine out and get a nicer looking one? I feel like that's as bad as dumping someone for their cankles.
