When a dealer gets defensive... to me that says "Please buy something as all I care about is money."

Are you certain that the dealer ordered this fish in?
I've seen countless times that a LFS orders in a specific strain of Discus and the distributer substitutes another strain in its place because they were not instock at the time of shipping.

(Freshwater yes, but the point is the same if not worse for Marine as they are 99% dependant on the fish being located and caught)

If it wasnt ordered and many people question why they would bring it in, then I could see them getting annoyed.
Either way poor practice to bark at a customer.

Any business man knows without customers your store amounts to nothing so... "The customer is allways right"
Perhaps they were a special order for a naive customer that backed out of the deal?
