I wouldn't have dealt with that junk. I would have demanded my money back, and he could keep his stupid fish. If he didn't give me my money back or allow me to use more water, the police would be called.
Seriously, he couldn't "spare" 50-75 gallons out of his 300 gallon? That's the same as a SMALL water change. It would have been NO sweat off of his back.
What a jerk. I've met and dealt with a lot of AWESOME people here. And I've never run into anything like this.
He really thought you were going to transport a 20+" goonch, a 20+" TSN, and a 13" dorado and bichir with 25 gallons of tank water and COLD hose water??? What a JERK. ESPECIALLY when he watched you drain your tub that was full of water, obviously expecting you to fill it back up with COLD hose water...
I'm angry for you if you can't tell.
