Michael is a good guy. I would think you will be able to work something out with him. I too ordered one of his small (4") Bluelines when he had them a few months ago. Beautiful fish in a great size, but he would not eat and succumbed to what I think may have been flukes as well. When I got the replacement fish, he was a monster! MUCH bigger than the one that I lost. But my larger one has been here two weeks now and it seems each day he grows bolder with what foods he will try. But they are certainly picky at first. And less assertive than many other angels. Bad combination. What a truly beautiful fish though. Better luck with your next one!
