Here's a story for ya. Last year I decided to give away my male jag to a woman that kept female jags. She lived in a city 2 hours from my place. Thought I was doing him a favor as she told me she was experienced and had several tanks and wanted to breed him. I even delivered the fish to her and gave her some supplies. Ended up she was not that experienced and had no spare tanks. Weeks later I saw a ranting ad on a swap and sell site that she could not handle him anymore due to his aggression and how she was selling him asap to anyone that would take him or she was going to sell him off at the local corporate store. I tried to get in touch with her but she was probably too ashamed to respond. I got back on the road and drove back to the city that weekend. Checked out every pet shop in town. Found him at the last stop in a 25 gallon tank looking pretty bad. Pet store employees said he was not happy in that tank and would not eat. They tried everything. They also bad mouthed the woman that dropped him off saying how she is always taking advantage of them, and they will no longer be taking in unwanted fish because of her. Anyhow, I bought him back for a discounted price ($40) since i told them the story. I took him home and babied him. He wasn't the same for weeks. I thought I was gonna lose him. It's been almost a year now and hes doing great. I bought a new 120 gallon tank this weekend that I plan to upgrade him to. Got a good deal on it too. That's the story of when I bought my own fish back.
