why do you think this is the fish store's responsibility.. they are thee for one thing.. the sell stuff.. it is your responsibility as a consumer to research what you are buying. blaming it on a store is just a cop out for your own impulsive purchasing.

As it turns out it was not a fish store

... but even if it was there is nothing wrong with a fish store taking one extra step to ensure the survival of the fish by making sure they go into a well filtered system that is big enough for them to grow without overcrowding ... it is in their best interest to educate the consumer that pays for their livelyhood because if he is successfull then he will spend more money in the store that contributed to his success ... that is not to say that as a consumer you should not educate yourself but who is the pro and who is the amateur ?
Anyway we have hijacked this guys thread long enough on a subject that has been hashed and rehashed many times with opinions on both sides.
