I'd agree.
Also echo the above fact. Plus - IME finding a healthy one that's eating in captivity takes time. I waited until a LFS had one for around 2 months before considering buying one that was doing well. Took a while for that to happen - so often folks buy them all up in the first week ... and I'd rather let them take chances.
Nevermind - a healthy fish can live a decade or more. IMO, like with coral - if you're in this hobby for the long-term, wait to get `dream' livestock for when everything is set up for it. Heck, the next one you see after passing one by might be nicer colored, less shy, eat better .... `better' overall.
I figured I could avoid taking chances, get a healthy one ... and given I've got a couple good homes - hopefully have this one fish for 10+ years. In that case - IMO waiting for the larger tank, for a healthy one - easily worth it.
Just my opinion.
