well i call the store and the guy gave the phone to the store owner and said they were happy to exchange fish if i wasnt happy however no refund because of some reason? i have no clue. maybe they think i done something wrong to the fish? ...

i guess i might as well keep it and see what happens

it's business.. they would not earn a cent if they agreed on refunds.. only on replacements.. lol

 

[nchung08]

well that sucks. lets hope it comes out good as i decide to keep this little guy.

Theres nothing wrong trying dude... but for sure, they know what they are saying. Maybe your lucky enough that your baby aro survived in an uncycled water, but how about next time? Dude theres nothing wrong trying. Try to use a dumped water on your next maintenance and and adding some "fish guard" liquids you'll find by researching and try to observe how the fish responds...then decide which way you'll gonna use.

I 'm sure the arowana, who's gills are burning more and more with the ever increasing ammonia levels in that tank would have a different opinion.

If you want to do whats right for the fish and you can't return it, then you'll need to do daily 50% water changes and research the nitrogen cycle as it pertains to the aquarium.
