Trust me Luna, some day when feel confident enough about yourself and your tank, you will.
Always kind of surprises when I see people spent literally thousands on their systems, then fret about investing in a really cool/exotic lifeform to go in it.
Seems most interested in quantity instead of quality.
They stock their tanks with all kinds of run of the mill fish (and usually too many) then have no space later on for a really beautiful and unique specimen.
True...is always a gamble and there is always risk of loss down the road...but you will in turn get full value for your $ while having the opportunity to live and share its life with you, for whatever time fate allows.
I would never recommend anyone buying "expensive" livestock until after 1st year or so (and after family finances over shock of initial tank setup investment)...
In sad event, which there will be, of a fish loss in future...and there is some room in your tank...there are plenty of really rare and beautiful marine animals sitting out there in holding pens needing a home.
Enough preaching...am sure you know what I am trying to say...
Rgds,
