	Will lfs usually take fish back?
fishygirl68 Hobbyist Posts: 97 Votes: 0 Registered: 07-Jul-2004	I want to find my 2 fantail goldfish a new home, but was wondering of other people's experiences with their lfs taking fish back in trade for other fish.(I bought the 2 goldfish from them about 4 months ago) Would this be pretty presumptuos of me to ask? Or is it pretty common? [span class="edited"][Edited by 2004-07-12 00:21][/span]

You could always just call them up and see what they say. If they won't give you credit, I'm sure at least they would accept them as a donation...

fishygirl68 Hobbyist Posts: 97 Votes: 0 Registered: 07-Jul-2004	Well, I did call the lfs and took Dumb & Dumber (the two Siamese Dolls Goldfish) back today. They gave me credit for half the cost of the fish. So I got 4 neon tetras in return. Not a bad deal. And I feel alot better about the goldfish. Just hope they don't end up in a bowl on someone's coffee table.
