Something dawned on me today while I was at the LFS...

What is everyones thoughts on a replacement specimens of they die? They aren't getting removed from the budget, but if the LFS is willing to replace them at no charge because they died within 24-48hrs of purchase, Should we be able to restock those SPECIFIC specimens at no charge? (It can not be a different fish, it has to be the same as what died). LFS stores DO, do this is the real world, so I'm just tossing it out there.

DISCLAIMER:

Yes, it would help me in my situation, however think about yourselfs down the road, this could save your butt.

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.

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.
