Thanks to all who replied. It helped to have some feedback and get others' opinions.

I personally think that the settlement could have been more equitable, in light of the fact that I was paying top dollar, and the fact that I had given this store a lot of business.

In another case, where I had purchased a fish from a different store, and the fish died, the owner gave me a full refund, no problem.

To Emily B: Would you take home a fish that had just arrived in the store, or would you wait a certain amount of time before purchasing it and putting it in your tank ?
