Does anyone know...

if there are any petstores that you know are big in the US (Petsmart, Petco) that take fish?

No, they don't take fish usually. You have to bring your fry or fish to a small LFS. The big chains don't see you as a big money maker for them, they're too big and 1 person with a handfull of fish doesn't matter. Those fish are probably at least worth $50 of the millions of dollars they make each day. So try to stick with just small, LFS.

Here's one more good reason to support your independent lfs

Yeah I agree you should take them to a smaller reputable LFS....I have a buddy at Petco and he would take my fish for "exchange, or Refund" (i made out on those deals) But I would not do that anymore because of the fish mortality I see in those stores....I got a nasty fungus infection from them and (well my tank anyway) have stoped going there altogether unless I just want to chit chat......
