After the deaths of our little French named fish, we decided Harvey (our little sucker fish [there's a scientific name but I don't know how to spell it and I'm to lazy to look it up]) needed some friends... and some little fishy waste to eat. I made the executive decision that we weren't getting carnivorous fish this time. Although they are fun to watch when they eat, we suck at going to get feeder fish and obviously our luck with feeder fish is not to great. So after about an hour at Petsmart we finally decided on 2 creamsicle Mollies, a silver Mollie, a dalmatian Mollie, a couple blood fin tetra, a couple neon tetras, and then a couple buenas aires tetras. And then!! The coolest fish there and my new pride and joys-- The ghost cat fish (you can pretty much see through it which is super cool when it eats..there's a picture of it below) and the upside down catfish (it swims upside down).
Well when we bough the fish the cashier lady said, "You have a 14 day period that you can return them if something happens." Of course I had to ask, "So you really want us to bring back the dead fish?" And the answer, "Yes, we have to know your fish died." Well thanks to my silver mollie, I get to go try this exchange policy today. I'm definitely going to feel awkward walking in with a dead fish, but that's what they want so who am I to deprive them of that?? Plus, it's free to replace it so who am I not to take advantage of that?! :o)

I've returned a dead fish! But to Walmart. Although, our fish wasn't quite dead when we called to check the return policy. The fish would float at the top of the tank, blow bubbles then sort of dive to the bottom. So as we tell the Walmart lady this over the phone she says "Are you serious?" We couldn't make this sort of story up, so she instructs us to put our semi-dead fish in the freezer and return the fish the next day. The next day happened to be day after Christmas, and I walk up to the huge return line with a little brown paper bag. The poor cashier asks "Do you have a return?" to which I hand over my bag and say "Yes, a dead fish!" The lady didn't even check, she just told me to go get a new one :)
