Youre in Staten Island? Petland should take that fish away from your hands if you give it to them for free. Ask rayman45 for help, he knows the people that works there.
I don't see why any LFS unless it was a corporate chain would deny fish a home even if they arrived for free? That's money in the bank fishy what you drank!! (water obviously since they don't swim in alcohol)
dude you need to calm down. it's been like 2 weeks since you started posting about this tank/stock. just take it as it comes. glad to see you thinned out some JD's.
