My responses aren't just to you directly they're more or less just as a whole since people were suggesting getting a whole other fish. That fish isn't deformed, it just had a run in with another poly, and with vendors that get in WC fish they have fish with problems like this all the time, but if they had to sell at a discounted price, or even had to do a 2 for 1 deal just to get someone to take the fish, then they'd lose money. And yes I've actually a few fish come in with some problems, but I never saw it necessary to ask for another or even a discount. I basically don't think a discount or another free fish is in order for a minuscule thing. If it's a very noticeable deformity then I can understand some pre-warning/discount.
Either way I think we stand to far apart to argue anymore so let's just enjoy your new fish. I don't want to derail your thread from them anymore hahahaha
