I've heard it mentioned that you can sometimes trade in or give back fish to your lfs, is that a common thing? What do you guys think about returning fish?
I'm upgrading my tank to give my corys more room and increase their numbers so they are in a proper shoal. But I have one that is a copper cory (I think) which I got because it was all my lfs had and I thought I needed to get something, anything to put with my one albino cory. Anyway, I'm not sure I want 6-10 copper corys, so I have considered seeing if my lfs would take him back. But I'm not sure I have to heart to get rid of him. I'm one of those ridiculous people that gives each of my fish a name and gets all attached to them, considers them part of the family, etc etc. Am I being silly? Should I just ditch the copper cory and get the fish that is more aesthetically pleasing to me? Or will I Love You (that is his name...given to him by my 4 year old) know that I ditched him? Is it unfair to him to just discard him based on looks? Or am I waaay over thinking this because, come on..it's just a fish!?
