Well we don't all have that luxury. Not all LFSs replace livestock, even if it dies within a day or two. So the way I see it you got yourself a "good deal" but by your rules you need proof and nothing is free.

I thought your fish died because your tank wasnt properly cycled. I have yet to find a LFS that would replace fish because of that.

I could be wrong though.

I don't think it really matters why they died but to me it doesn't seem fair to change your rules for your own best interests despite the fact it may help others which it doesn't because we don't all have that luxury at our LFS. Now I'm OK with you using the "good deal" but it was made clear in other posts nothing is free, so you need to overcome that issue.

Ok guys, stop bickering. It's a $20 contest, I don't give two shits if someone bends the rules. His fish is dead and gone. It doesn't matter why it died as far as the rules of this conest are concerned. It's dead, money's spent. If your store replaces it for you then good on ya, you have a good LFS.

I don't know if he's trying to get something for free Steve. He paid for the fish, accounted for it in his budget, and if it gets replaced by the LFS then I think it should be kosher.

Ryan, the internet is a poooooooor place to try and convey ones tone. This statement:

"Refresh my memory then please..."

really does look like your just trying to be difficult. I'm sure that isn't your intention but that is the way it comes off to me. His fish died, move on.

If this contest is full of this for 6 months I know I won't compete in another down the road. Sorry to derail your build thread.

I'm sure the LFS would provide a receipt for the replacement.

A receipt for free though? I got some items for free to and could have gotten a receipt but I though nothing could be "free" so I used standard pricing.
