So I recently lost three blue-green chromis I had put in my tank and it has come to my attention that this is probably from the damsels that are already in my tank beating up on them. Well I have no problem removing them now that my tank is cycled and up and running but I don't want to just flush them or anything. I was wondering if my LFS will take them back or even trade them from me? Is that even something they ever do?
If i cant get rid of them I might set up a hospital tank and put them in there for now but any other ideas would work.

75 gal. , 1 three stripe damsel, 2 blue-green chromis, 1 coral banded shrimp, 2 Ocellaris Clownfish, and 1 sailfin/algae blennie, loads of inverts.

It's not unusual for a LFS to take back fish but not all will. What I've found in my area is that they'll give you about half value in store credit.

So many species, so little money!

Update... the LFS gladly took them back, but gave me no credit, I only took in the two yellow tail damsel due to the fact that after an hour of trying to catch the three stripe I gave up. But good news is that I changed the aqua scape a bit and he seems to have chilled way out and although he is still territorial I think he is either still mad at me and scared or he is realizing that if he is not good he to might get yanked.
