Well he said he paid way more for the bigger fish because only one fish would fit in the styrofoam crates they ship in. So I figured he had ordered the larger fish since he had to pay more to ship them. That is according to what he said.

And sometime you'll get something you didn't even order and probably never would. There simply just isn't as much control as some might think or hope for.
Unfortunately it's more complicated than just blaming retailers, in the end we the hobbyists are to blame.
