I think we can talk about misleading advertising when we as photo it with written lineata :mad: ?
Sometimes, e.g. when you have a picture of domestic A. macmasteri with the caption "A. viejita", which usually doubles to triples the price.

In this case: Ignorance, stupidity, lack of information. Because in terms of price there is not really a difference. Most shops have several price categories. From cheap tankbred domestic breeds, to tankbred wild forms, to common wild caughts, to wild caught rarities. And the one you've got and the species listed and tagged would be in the same category usually. How much did you pay?

Given how unrelated the pictured species is to the sent fish I would request a refund. The fish you received is not a bad fish but it is certainly not the one you ordered. Having said that had you recieved a. lineta i doubt it would be that colourful.

Of course, the purchase contract, if you will, should be null and void. But I don't really know the laws in France, we have generally strong customer protection laws in Germany, as France is also EU, this should be possible.
