I agree. I think you've got what you paid for. A good diet and a stable tank ought to bring out some really nice colors in it.
Thats a bummer I was hoping for the standard colors....I agree that it looks like a "peeling" catemaco. Soon, it will be mostly white with perhaps some pink/orange/black marks. I really liked the pair I used to have, just moved in a different direction with the tank I kept them in. There will be no bars on the fish in its adult coloration...
