I think the worse thing anyone can do is return a fish to the LFS!!!
If they don't have the means to properly look after the fish in question I don't really see how his is the worst thing they could do.

Than they shouldn't have got fish in the first place but I understand s#@t happens so reach out on MFK or craigslist and find a responsible person in the hobby! I have to much pride to pay retail price, than grow the fish out for them and then return it for penny's on the dollar!! To each his own!!:headbang2

:irked:I have nice relationship with my LFS owner, and If I sold the fish back to the store how is that horrible.

What a responsible owner....

I was like 15 and I wasn't giving her huge portions each time I fed her. GEESH
 
I guess I don't care for any off them in my area but I'm sure there are a few good ones somewhere!!! Think about it, you buy a fish for $15 and grow it out. It is now the size of a $50 dollar fish. When you return it you will probably get a $5 dollar store credit towards a fish that is marked up 300%!!!
We need to hook up with as many MFKers in our area!!!

I sold my Red Devil back to my LFS for like $20 or $25... I've been knowing the owner of House of Tropical for years so he won't cheat me. I'm in memphis BTW

I agree because when I try to trade with other LFS I always get jipped!
So I just stick with one LFS unless I need to buy a fish he doesn't have.
 
I've never brought back a fish, but I'm not against it.

What if the fish is doing damage to other fish, or is on the other end of a beat down.
If you need to move a fish ASAP, the LFS is your fastest choice.
When you do the CL or forum, you still have to wait around to gather interest.

1 of the LFS I frequent get some really interesting trade ins.
He also gives you a good deal when you need to trade something.
Last time I was there I saw I saw a really nice RTM, obviously a trade in cause it had some size on it.
I'm on a hunt for a bigger tank so I can hopefully snag that fish.
I almost never seen RTM's anywhere locally as nice as this 1.
